He taught biology classes and researched cardioactive peptides in the Master’s program. His research interests continued after receiving his master’s degree. During breaks in medical school, Dr. Marshburn studied different types of neurons and their microscopic connections and pathways. After initially working in an ophthalmology practice with his father and brother, Dr. Marshburn opened his practice in Placentia. He continues to practice comprehesive ophthalmology with particular emphasis on the diagnosis and treatment of cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and dry eyes.

The staff members at Dr. Marshburn’s office are well trained and committed to help provide care and support before and after surgery. Dr. Marshburn recently described new lens options for cataract surgery. “With new technologies and intraocular lens options such as the ReSTOR, Toric, Crystalens, and Rezoom, there is a level of potential independence from glasses that was not possible until recently.” There are some eye conditions that may not be appropriate for these newer lenses, and Dr. Marshburn suggests a complete clinical evaluation and eye examination to determine if you would be a good candidate for these optional intraocular lenses.
