Dr. Kraff was instrumental in developing the Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff
(SRK) Formula, used worldwide to determine the correct power of an intraocular
lens to be implanted in a patient's eye during cataract surgery. Research
studies performed by Dr. Kraff at the Institute have led to the widespread
use of the ultraviolet filtering intraocular lens and technical advances
in phacoemulsification (small incision cataract surgery). As a clinical
investigator, Dr. Kraff helped pioneer VISX laser vision correction,
the Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) for high myopia, and the Implantable
Micro-Telescope for macular degeneration.
Twice named to "Best Doctors of America", Dr. Kraff is
the only cataract surgeon in Chicago to be distinguished for his outstanding
contributions as one of the "Best 111 Ophthalmologists in America".
His personal time is spent with his family and enjoying distance running
