About Eye Doctors of Washington

Our doctors have been providing the highest quality medical care in the DC metropolitan area for over 40 years. The practice was founded by a core group of professors from the Center for Sight at Georgetown University. Our goal is to provide the most advanced, efficient, and academically oriented ophthalmic medical care possible. Whether patients need cataract surgery or are interested in laser vision correction through eye surgery, our Maryland, DC, and Virginia area surgeons can provide the best care possible.

All of our ophthalmologists are board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology as well as fellowship trained in a subspecialty such as cornea and refractive surgery, glaucoma, pediatrics, or strabismus. All of the EDOW partners have been directors of a fellowship-training program in a major academic center. All of the partners have received scientific and medical awards including Honor Awards from the American Academy of Ophthalmology. They serve on numerous scientific advisory boards and are involved in academic research.

Eye Doctors of Washington has the unique distinction of providing the most advanced technologies in an academically oriented private practice setting. Our research grants allow us to have the most advanced diagnostic equipment including WaveScan™ aberrometers, optic nerve analyzers, and specular microscopes. We provide a wide spectrum of eye care, ranging from comprehensive general eye examinations to highly specialized ophthalmologic care including laser vision correction and other eye surgery treatments at our Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC, area offices. Our locations were chosen to be easily accessible by car, metro, or bus. We have carefully designed our offices to make your visit both comfortable and efficient.
