About Me

Dr. Alejandro Arboleda is a cornea and cataract specialist whose practice spans corneal transplantation, ocular surface disease, and advanced lens surgery. He treats keratoconus and corneal ectasia, infectious keratitis, pterygium, and complex corneal scars, and offers endothelial and full-thickness transplant options alongside modern cataract surgery tailored to each patient’s visual goals. An assistant professor of ophthalmology, Dr. Arboleda completed residency at Stanford University and a clinical fellowship at the UCSF Francis I. Proctor Foundation. He earned his MD at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, where he also completed BS and MS degrees in biomedical engineering. His professional interests include PKP, DALK, DSAEK, and DMEK, corneal crosslinking for keratoconus, keratoprosthesis care, and secondary IOL solutions for aphakia. Patients can expect thoughtful explanations and a step-by-step plan that balances surgical precision with long-term ocular surface health.
