Dr. Maida was a Naval Flight Surgeon and pilot in the early 1970’s, and he served his residency at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia in 1976. He then undertook a fellowship in anterior segment surgery under Dr. John Sheets in Texas. He earned an MBA from the Wharton School of business in Philadelphia in 1992.
