Recognized as a highly-trained and experienced ophthalmologist, Dr. Kindermann specializes in eye and vision care. He is the owner & operator of Kindermann Eye Associates in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

Kindermann Eye Associates is a premier comprehensive ophthalmology practice offering a wide range of eye care services, including in-office emergency eye care, eye examinations, surgical evaluations, second opinions, and various medical and surgical treatments related to vision. The practice utilizes the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art technology for the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of eye disease, including intraocular lenses for astigmatism and presbyopia correction. Its mission is to enhance the quality of patients’ lives by compassionately providing the highest level of eye care, and to the best of their abilities. 

An expert in the field of eye alignment problems, Dr. Kindermann provides consultation, as well as medical and surgical treatment for a wide variety of ocular alignment problems, including horizontal alignment disorders, vertical alignment disorders, disorders due to medical problems such as thyroid eye disease, disorders due to cranial nerve palsies, disorders due to congenital birth defects, disorders of ocular alignment following injury or other surgeries, precise prism measurements, and adjustable suture surgery. He and his staff pride themselves on extremely accurate surgical outcomes, utilizing the latest diagnostic equipment including the Zeiss IOLMaster Series II keratometer/laser interferometer and the Marco/Nidek OPD-3D wavefront analyzer to refine surgical strategic planning.

Professionally, he holds dual appointments in the Cataract / Primary Eye Care and Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Departments at Wills Eye Institute.

Among his teaching efforts, he has been an instructor in cataract surgery and pediatric ophthalmology at Wills Eye Hospital and Cooper University Hospital, as well as many international forums. He has also provided instruction in cataract surgery and surgical cataract surgeries in dozens of foreign countries. 

The doctor’s acclaimed career in medicine began after he earned his medical degree from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in 1975. He then went on to complete his residency in ophthalmology at Wills Eye Hospital, followed by his fellowship in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus under Drs. Robison Harley and Joseph Calhoun at the same facility. He completed additional training under noted cataract surgeons Charles Kelman of New York, the inventor of phacoemulsification; Turgut Hamdi of Wills Eye, a member of the first team in America to implant an intraocular lens; and Oram Kline, the first surgeon in South Jersey to perform phacoemulsification.

Dedicated to his profession, Dr. Kindermann is board-certified in ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology, whose mission is to serve the public by improving the quality of ophthalmic practice through a process of certification and Maintenance of Certification that fosters excellence and encourages continual learning. 

In order to stay up to date in his field, he remains a member of several professional organizations, including the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the New Jersey Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, and the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus.

With a strong interest in cataract surgery and lens implants, Dr. Kindermann maintains a strong emphasis on cataract technological advancements, especially surgical instruments and intraocular lenses. He was a participant in the first clinical trial of multifocal intraocular lenses with the AMO corporation beginning in 1994. This lens, the “ARRAY” lens, was approved by the FDA and was the first certified intraocular lens verified to correct both near and far vision. Dr. Kindermann implanted hundreds of these lenses before this lens was discontinued prior to the introduction of second-generation products.

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.

Pertaining to his most notable achievements, Dr. Kindermann has been honored repeatedly in the “Best Doctor” sections of Philadelphia Magazine, New Jersey Magazine, South Jersey Magazine, Best Doctors of America, and Checkpoint Magazine. He is a recipient of the coveted “Silver Tray” (presented yearly at the annual Wills Eye Conference), Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2018), and Patients’ Choice Award (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018).
