In addition, Dr. Calenda is an attending physician at New York Presbyterian’s Hudson Valley Hospital, where he utilizes the most advanced technology in intraocular lenses and laser-assisted cataract surgery to help patients minimize their need for eyeglasses after surgery.

He earned his Doctor of Medicine at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Fordham University, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude and was inducted into the national honor society Phi Beta Kappa.

A Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Diplomate of the American Board of Ophthalmology, Dr. Calenda has lectured for the New York State Ophthalmological Society and his interviews have appeared in a wide range of magazines, newspapers and websites.

A former Medical and Surgical Director for various LASIK centers, Dr. Calenda brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his practice at OCLI. He has been in private practice for 26 years and has performed thousands of cataract surgeries and LASIK procedures.

  • Great office, great doctor. Every employee was very friendly and knowledgeable.
    Carolina Monteiro

  • Since you arrived you will be attended by great staff. They do a complete eye exam. They are very careful with the cleaning of every machine before you use it. You don’t have to wait too long in order to see the doctor who by the way is very clear to explain your condition. He is very professional and polite. I will highly recommend this place. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else.
    Laura Rodriguez
