Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.

On a more personal note, Dr. Kresloff is the proud father of three young boys whose artistic masterpieces decorate his exam rooms. He was voted a Father of the Year in Suburban Family Magazine for 2012. In addition to fathering his sons, his passions include his wife, athletics, and traveling with his family. He and his family live in Moorestown, New Jersey.
