......Ophthalmic Plastic (Oculoplastic) Surgeons are ophthalmologists (eye doctors) specially trained in cosmetic and repair surgery just around the eye. Eye surgeons (not general plastic surgeons) developed the "eyelid lift," otherwise known as blepharoplasty or cosmetic eye surgery. Oculoplastic Surgeons train for years in eye surgery in their fellowships.

He also develops new instrumentation and procedures in the field of ophthalmic plastic surgery. Dr. Weber is extremely nearsighted at 20/240 and is able to use 7-0 stitches stereoscopically (with depth perception) in skin for near-perfect skin alignment. The 7-0 stitches are the smallest made, thinner than a human hair. Dr. Weber his extensive expertise in laser surgery and has pioneered laser techniques that make it extremely difficult to find a stitch line. He is, as well, an artist and sculptor.
