Dr. Steven C. Kurtin founded The Kurtin Eye Center in Plano, Texas over 35 years ago - then was acquired by his associates and they changed the name to Plano Eye Care Center. Dr. Kurtin took a sabbatical, but continued volunteering at medical outreach centers caring for underserved people.

In 2015, Dr. Kurtin opened Kurtin Vision Specialists at
 Methodist Doctor's building off the Dallas Tollway in Addison, Texas.  This eye care specialty practice is devoted to people with severe vision problems typically from corneal problems affecting vision. The new medical building has other top doctors in their respective fields including pain management, internal medicine, dermatology and pediatrics.
Education 
Dr. Kurtin graduated from Michigan's Ferris State University with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Human Biology and work in Psychology. Four years later, he attained the Doctorate of Optometry degree (O.D.) at the prestigious University of Houston Optometry school in Houston, Texas. He is specially trained to restore vision from corneal compromise, Keratoconus, RK or Lasik issues, astigmatism, focus problems and myopia progression. Dr. Kurtin works with educators to treat visual processing and eye tracking issues in children to facilitate learning. 

Research
In the late 1980's, Dr. Kurtin was a clinical investigator for Bausch & Lomb's BiTech soft lens - one of the world's first soft bifocal contact lens. In the 1990's, Dr. Kurtin trademarked the MultiFokus progressive gas permeable contact lens.  In the early 2000's, he was one of the first to be FDA certified to provide Orthokeratology. Today he continues researching various lens designs to provide critical feedback for labs. Marketing claims from various manufacturers are verified here through informal clinical trials.  Dr. Kurtin's affiliated eye surgeons give insight into what technology truly works best for Lasik, PRK, Cataract and Corneal Surgery.
