With simple preparation, each visit to our office is convenient and efficient.
Patients who trust their eyesight to Contemporary Ophthalmology of Erie benefit from the compassionate care of a team of ophthalmologists that not only uses the latest technology, but also contributed to the development of these sophisticated tools and methods.
Dr. Howard M. Levin has worked closely with the Cleveland Clinic and Saint Vincent Surgery Center since the introduction of the excimer laser, helping LASIK and PRK to become the life-changing procedures we know today. If your vision is becoming compromised in any way, Drs. Levin, Vincent M. Imbrogno, and Ravinder Sabherwal can provide the precise diagnostics and sophisticated services you deserve. Contemporary Ophthalmology of Erie provides cataract surgery, corneal transplants, glaucoma treatment, general ophthalmology care, LASIK, and PRK Surgery to patients throughout the Tri-State area. Our ophthalmology practice in Erie, PA, makes certain that everyone under our care feels welcomed, comfortable, and respected.
Dr. Imbrogno was able to determine what was wrong with my eyes, after 2 other out-of-state opthalmologists were not. He set up a good program for me, and has been kind, professional, and encouraging.
I have found over the years when you fine a good surgeon their bedside manners are terrible. Dr. Levin had both the skill for surgery and the kindness people need during this time in their life. THANK YOU Dr. Levin for being my Doctor

If you've been considering refractive surgery, our doctors are here to tell you that there is no reason to wait. This safe, effective procedure uses an excimer laser to reshape the cornea and minimize or even eliminate a patient’s need for glasses and contacts. We will provide an honest assessment of your candidacy for this procedure, and will only recommend LASIK if we feel it is the right solution for your needs. We also provide procedures such as photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), a similar refractive surgery that can benefit certain patients who do not qualify for LASIK.
*According to the American Refractive Surgery Council
LASIK has an incredibly low risk of complications–less than one percent–but we use state-of-the-art technology for even more precise care. We have invested in the Alcon Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q with PerfectPulse Technology®, which tracks eye movement during surgery with incredible precision to achieve an unparalleled level of control and safety.
PRK is similar to LASIK, but the refractive surgery technique does not require making a corneal flap. Patients with thin corneas or certain occupations or hobbies can benefit from PRK.
Our surgeons treat this common condition by removing the cloudy crystalline lens and replacing it with an intraocular lens. This outpatient surgery is fast, safe, and effective.
Our practice diagnoses and treats keratoconus, dry eyes, irregular corneal surfaces, infections, scars, and Fuchs' dystrophy. Our options range from drops to in-office procedures and corneal transplants.
Glaucoma is a group of conditions often resulting in abnormal intraocular pressure, which can lead to vision loss. We provide nonsurgical and surgical procedures to help manage this chronic condition and protect your vision.
Our ophthalmology practice is equipped to help patients suffering from refractive errors including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. After an exam, we can recommend a solution for you.
Our practice features an in-house optical boutique for all your eyeglass and contact lens needs.
At Contemporary Ophthalmology of Erie, we offer a full range of professional services on-site, so your care remains streamlined and convenient.
This is the most professional optometry place I've ever visited. The staff is professional and well trained. There's no reason to go to a discount place for something as important as your vision.
Dr. Levin did a thorough exam, and unlike the other doctors, felt I was not a good candidate for LASIK. As a result, I had PRK surgery and the results are amazing. I wish I would have done it sooner.
We want your first visit and every subsequent visit to our office to be as convenient, efficient, and beneficial as possible. In order to help us make an appointment that fits your schedule, please contact us well in advance of the time you hope to meet with our doctors.
Plan to arrive shortly before your appointment, and bring your picture identification and insurance information, which are required at every visit. If you need a complete examination, please note that it can take an hour to 90 minutes. Your eyes will be dilated, and if you feel you need a driver, please make appropriate arrangements.
We provide emergency treatment and will do all that we can to see you as soon as possible, whether you need attention during or after business hours. However, if your injury is so severe that you feel you need more immediate attention, please go to the nearest emergency room.
