Dr. Gwizdak's Biography — Dr. Krzysztof Gwizdak or “Dr. Krys” as he likes to be called, has lived most of his life in Long Beach and surrounding areas. His family came here from London, England, his birthplace, when he was just two years old.

Working in various settings, from private optometric practices to ophthalmology surgery/research offices to lasik surgery centers, has given Dr. Gwizdak a wide range of experiences in the eye care field. Some of his most interesting and rewarding work was as a clinical investigator for FDA phase III research studies. These were studies designed to allow approval of revolutionary new medications for the treatment of various eye diseases. Many of these medications are in use today. One of the most important studies he was involved in was for the approval of Allergan’s Restasis. This is the first eye drop of its kind that treats dry eyes by actually stimulating tear production. In November of 1999, Dr. Gwizdak underwent LASIK surgery to correct his nearsightedness. To this day, his vision is still excellent.
