He was also the first to use Intacs to fight keratoconus, a disease that causes debilitating astigmatisms and fluctuating vision problems in patients. Intacs are plastic rings implanted under the eye's outer most layer, the cornea, and correct its distorted shape caused by pressure problems associated with the disease.

Cutarelli has also done a great deal of published research, always staying abreast of the newest trends and technologies in vision correction. He was a coinvestigator during more than 15 FDA clinical trials for excimer lasers, the biggest developments in laser vision surgery to appear in the last decade. His work has also appeared in numerous scientific publications reviewed by his peers, including Ophthalmology and Current Eye Research, as well as several book chapters on laser eye surgery.

An expert in correcting refractive and presbyopic problems, Cutarelli has performed more than 60,000 LASIK and LASEK procedures in Colorado. He's one of only a few who've had one-year fellowships in refractive and corneal surgeries, including transplants, and is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology.

Before he opened his practice in Denver, Cutarelli directed refractive surgery and was an assistant ophthalmology professor at University Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio. There, he founded the hospitals' refractive surgery fellowship training program. And he taught medical students at his alma mater, Case Western Reserve University.

His expertise has been sought after internationally, at London's Moorfields Eye Hospital and the Al Noor Hospital in the United Arab Emirates.
