While in medical school, Dr. Fedyk started to realize his strong interest in ophthalmology, and began working for the Heartland Lions Eye Bank in Columbia, Missouri, as a cornea procurer for transplants.

Doctor Fedyk followed his medical school years with a transitional year internship at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas.  For this year he was elected Chief Resident of his residency class.  He then began his postgraduate training in ophthalmology with a residency at University of Texas-Southwestern, where he worked and trained at the prestigious Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas.  Dr. Fedyk was also VISX excimer laser certified for laser refractive surgery during this time.  During his residency Dr. Fedyk was able to participate in the annual nationwide Chief Resident Leadership Forum.  This was followed by a year-long Cornea and External Disease Fellowship at the Mason Eye Center of the University of Missouri.

Doctor Fedyk returned to St. Louis following his fellowship and joined The Cornea and Laser Vision Institute.  Since he has returned he has also joined the faculty at Washington University, where he serves as attending physician in the resident clinic.  He is a fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.  He has presented research on emerging multifocal intraocular lens technology and refractive measurement techniques at national meetings for the American Society for Cataract & Refractive Surgery and the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology.
