Western Massachusetts' only fellowship trained Pediatric Ophthalmologist, with over 20 years of experience

Dr. Abrams received his B.S. from Haverford College and his M.D. from a combined program in medicine at Dartmouth College and Brown University Medical Schools. He served for four years as a Battalion Surgeon and General Medical Officer in the U.S. Army before completing a residency in ophthalmology, where he was Chief Resident, followed by a fellowship in Pediatric Ophthalmology at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan.

During his 16 years of private practice in Utah, Dr. Abrams regularly conducted and published his own research. He has taught around the world as a Volunteer Faculty member on ORBIS International’s “Flying Eye Hospital,” and has helped to develop Connected Health systems that allow ophthalmologists from around the world to work together on virtual platforms. In 2013, he took a sabbatical from medicine to become the CEO of FreeLinc Technologies in Boston. In 2018, after co-authoring numerous patents and bringing the technology to the early stages of adoption by customers in the military and medical markets, Dr. Abrams returned to pediatric ophthalmology to continue his research, teaching, and the practice of medicine at Case Western Reserve University’s School of Medicine, where he was an Associate Professor of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Strabismus at Cleveland’s Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital.

A member of the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus since 1997, he also served for nine years on the board of the Children’s Eye Foundation, the non-profit arm of that association dedicated to preventing treatable blindness in children around the world.
