Fellowship-trained glaucoma and cataract surgeon Ardalan Aminlari, MD in Encinitas operates at Morris Eye Group's North El Camino Real office with over 5,000 cataract and glaucoma procedures completed. His training at Wills Eye Hospital, consistently ranked among the nation's top ophthalmology programs, informs a glaucoma surgical practice that extends post-operative monitoring into residential settings through coordination with Belmont Village Senior Living Cardiff by the Sea for elderly patients managing chronic intraocular-pressure conditions. Penn State College of Medicine graduate and co-chief resident, Dr. Aminlari holds memberships in the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, and the American Glaucoma Society. He introduced the iDose and Durysta sustained-release glaucoma implants to North County as the first surgeon in the region to offer both micro-invasive drug-delivery procedures. Pre-surgical medical clearance for cataract patients with diabetes and hypertension requires coordination with primary-care physicians such as Diane Hutchison, MD to manage systemic risk factors before lens-replacement surgery. Highest-complexity cases involve combined cataract extraction with minimally invasive glaucoma surgery using trabecular micro-bypass stent implantation for patients requiring simultaneous IOP reduction and visual rehabilitation.
