Dr. Mark Andrew joined the ReFocus Eye Health team with over three decades of clinical ophthalmology experience.

After graduating from Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, subsequent rotations in the research department at Wills Eye Hospital led to Dr. Andrew being awarded an NIH grant and subsequently spending a year at the National Eye Institute of the NIH in Bethesda, MD, conducting ophthalmic research.

After attending the Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia for his Ophthalmology Residency Training, Dr. Andrew then joined a practice of Ophthalmology in Orange County, California, with offices in Laguna Hills and Irvine. Returning to the Delaware Valley, Dr. Andrew settled in South Jersey, becoming an associate of Dr. Reed Kindermann in Cherry Hill, as well as running his own practice of Ophthalmology in West Deptford and then Haddonfield.

Returning to his interest in research, Dr. Andrew invented and developed a novel way of removing cataracts, which he licensed to Alcon, Inc. That technological innovation, The AquaLase® Liquefaction Device, was incorporated as a modality of small incision cataract removal on The Infiniti Vision System, Alcon’s premier cataract removal machine used routinely in over 50 countries. Subsequently, Dr. Andrew modified the technology, enabling it to remove adipose tissue in a novel manner; that device was recently used in the First Human Clinical Trial in subjects with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, where visceral adipose tissue was removed from the small bowel mesentery, a surgical first. Dr. Andrew holds 40 patents in 25 countries; his medical devices have received 6 FDA clearances.

Dr. Heuer earned her baccalaureate in biology with a minor in psychology from Salisbury University, graduating magna cum laude and as a member of the honors program. She continued her schooling at Nova Southeastern University, where she graduated with a doctorate in optometry. After graduation, Dr. Heuer furthered her training through a residency focused on ocular disease at the Wilmington Veterans Administration Medical Center in Delaware. With this background and training, Dr. Heuer provides a comprehensive range of primary eye care to her patients, including spectacle and soft contact lens prescriptions, in addition to medical management of ocular disease.

A Pennsylvania native, Dr. Heuer currently lives in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, pottery, and the Philadelphia sports, entertainment, and culinary scene.
