Dr. William Boozan joins 鶹with extensive experience in laser cataract surgery, refractive procedures, and the management of complex ocular conditions. He is recognized for his advanced surgical expertise and highly personalized approach to patient care.

Dr. Boozan earned his undergraduate degree from Princeton University, pursued additional studies at Columbia University, and later received his medical degree from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. He completed residency training in both general surgery and ophthalmology at Saint Vincent’s Hospital and Medical Center of New York, where he ultimately served as Residency Training Coordinator and Chief of the Glaucoma Service. His dedication to education includes teaching roles with New York Medical College and the Physician’s Assistant Program at Sisters of Charity Medical Center.

His clinical strengths include laser-assisted cataract surgery, intraocular lens implantation, glaucoma management, and care for diabetes-related eye disease. His research includes work on neonatal mortality and ongoing investigations into postoperative lens capsule changes, with a focus on early posterior capsular fibrosis in patients using latanoprost following cataract surgery.

Dr. Boozan is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, and the International Society of Refractive Surgeons. He will be seeing patients at SightMD’s Westchester office in New Rochelle and the Manhattan offices on Park Avenue and East 27th Street.

Dr. Rosenlicht earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology and Master of Public Health from Stony Brook University before completing her Doctor of Optometry at the New England College of Optometry. She advanced her clinical training through a residency in Primary Care, Ocular Disease, and Vision Rehabilitation at the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

Her clinical expertise includes binocular vision assessments for conditions such as diplopia, vergence and accommodative disorders, and post-traumatic brain injury evaluations. She provides specialized low vision services including telescopes, bioptics, magnifiers, and specialty refractions. Dr. Rosenlicht also offers comprehensive care for glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, dry eye disease, cataract co-management, LASIK co-management, pediatric care, and myopia management. She provides advanced dry eye treatments such as punctal plugs, meibomian gland expression, and specialty contact lenses.

A member of the New York State Optometric Association, Dr. Rosenlicht has been published in the Journal of Optometry and Visual Performance. She is passionate about maximizing visual potential for every patient, including those with low vision and complex binocular needs.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to join 鶹and to care for patients in a community I deeply value,” said Dr. Rosenlicht. “My objective is always to understand each patient’s unique visual needs and help them achieve the best possible quality of life through attentive, individualized care.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Boozan and Dr. Rosenlicht to the 鶹New York family,” said Jonathan Lujan, CEO of SightGrowthPartners. “Their dedication to clinical excellence and compassion for patients make them invaluable additions to our team.
