Dr. Matt Rauen graduated from Loras College with a B.S. in Biology Research and received his medical degree from The University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. He completed his Ophthalmology Residency in 2009 at the University of Iowa Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences when he began a fellowship in Cornea, External Disease, and Refractive Surgery in the same department.
Dr. Rauen was a Doris Duke Clinical Research Fellow at The University of Iowa and worked on projects regarding identification of mutations in human eye diseases. His work identified a mutation in the gene GCAP1 in a family with cone-rod dystrophy.
Dr. Rauen finished his Cornea Fellowship in June 2010 and is now in private practice at the Wolfe Eye Clinic, West DesMoines, Iowa.
