If you are considering refractive surgery and want to know more about Maida Custom Vision, we encourage you to learn directly from our staff: After only three years of undergraduate study, Dr. Jerry Maida was accepted to the New Jersey College of Medicine without a diploma. After completion of his medical studies, he was the recipient of a New Jersey College of Medicine Fellowship that gave him an opportunity to work in the “bush” of Tanzania and study tropical disease medicine and work as a medical missionary. Dr. Maida was a Naval Flight Surgeon and pilot in the early 1970’s, and he served his residency at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia in 1976. He then undertook a fellowship in cornea and anterior segment surgery under Dr. John Sheets in Texas. He earned an MBA from the Wharton School of business in Philadelphia in 1992.
