Dr. Ayesha Badar

Dr. Ayesha Badar is a board-certified ophthalmologist who cares for adults with glaucoma and other complex eye conditions at Loyola Medicine. Patients describe her as focused, thorough, and welcoming—someone who listens carefully, explains options in plain language, and builds a plan that matches each person’s goals and daily routine. She offers medical and laser treatments for a wide range of glaucomas and provides cataract care for patients whose vision is limited by lens changes.

Dr. Badar completed medical school at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, followed by residency and fellowship training at Indiana University School of Medicine. As an assistant professor, she brings an academic, evidence-based approach to the exam room while keeping visits personal and unhurried. Her priority is protecting sight with safe, effective care and follow-up that patients can stick with over time.
