The Best Decision For Your Vision

Rest in Peace Dr. Koby

With heavy hearts, the Doctors Eye Institute family would like to announce that Dr. Melvyn Koby, a founding member of Koby Karp Doctors Eye Institute, passed away on October 22, 2024.

As a pioneering ophthalmologist, Dr. Koby was the first in Louisville, Kentucky, to perform Radial Keratotomy, a groundbreaking procedure that laid the foundation for modern LASIK. He also became the first ophthalmologist in Kentucky to insert an intraocular lens during cataract surgery, a milestone in vision care that set the stage for today’s advanced techniques.

Dr. R. Scott Hoffman, a colleague and friend, shared, “Working with Dr. Koby was a great joy. He was always ready to discuss interesting patients, offer intellectual advice, or a witty quick joke. I love him and will miss our stimulating conversations.”

His legacy of innovation and compassion will be remembered by both his patients and the Louisville medical community. We at DEI will also remember his leadership, his teachings, his friendship and that jovial smile and laugh that accompanied him wherever he went.

Rest well Dr. Koby.
