In 1993, he moved to Long Island, New York, where he began a three-year residency in ophthalmology with Stony Brook University and the affiliated Nassau University Medical Center and in the Harvard Lancaster program.

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery that deals with the anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eyeball and orbit. As an opthamologist, Dr. Roberts specializes in eye and vision care. He is certified to perform the LASIK procedure, or “laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis”, which is the most commonly performed laser eye surgery to treat myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism. Like other types of refractive surgery, the LASIK procedure reshapes the cornea to enable light entering the eye to be properly focused onto the retina for clearer vision. In most cases, laser eye surgery is pain-free and completed within 15 minutes for both eyes. The results, improved vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses, can usually be seen in as little as 24 hours. Dr. Roberts attributes his success to his bedside manner that makes his patients feel very relaxed. In his spare time, he enjoys golfing, playing tennis, and traveling.
