About Dr Ben LaHood
When not creating products like EYELID DEFENCE to protect your eyelids, Ben is working to save, improve and restore people’s eyesight as a highly skilled and globally recognised ophthalmologist and eye surgeon.
A member of The Ophthalmologist Magazines Power List in 2023 and 2024, Ben is consistently recognised globally as a influential ophthalmologist and leader in his subspecialty fields of cataract, complex cataract, refractive and corneal ophthalmology. It goes without saying that Ben’s expertise and skill in consulting, surgical solutions and management, is highly regarded.
However, his influence extends beyond his clinical and surgical practices. By frequently extended invitation, he is a dedicated educator and industry collaborator and is frequently found in Australia, his native New Zealand, and other far flung paces around the globe, presenting research and new technology at ophthalmic conferences. Also teaching and mentoring ophthalmology students, sitting on committees and panels providing insight into the latest ophthalmic techniques, hosting interesting guests when exploring relevant topics on podcasts, and published in articles in industry leading publications.
Ben by nature is caring, innovative, creative, intelligent and entrepreneurial, but most importantly he is genuine and passionate about providing a better world of eye health in all its applications.
EYELID DEFENCE is the first of many quality products that he hopes to bring to the market.
Care with integrity is what he practices in his everyday, and is what you can expect from his brand – Dr Ben LaHood.
