Dr. Catherine Hagan

Catherine E. Hagan, M.D., is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and a graduate of the University of Louisville School of Medicine. A native Floridian, she hails from Ocala and attended the University of Florida for her undergraduate studies. She has been performing laser corneal refractive surgery since 2006 and has performed more than 15,000 procedures with the United States Navy.

She served as an Undersea & Dive Medical Officer for the US Navy and has a special interest in the hyperbaric treatment of eye conditions and frequently lectures on the topic. During her time serving as a Chief Medical Officer, she underwent training and gained extensive experience with the subject of elevating the safety and quality of healthcare.
