About Me

Dr. Benyam Kinde is a neuro-ophthalmologist who cares for the intricate connections between the brain and vision. He evaluates and treats double vision and adult strabismus, anisocoria and nystagmus, optic nerve disorders, thyroid eye disease, and conditions marked by high intracranial pressure such as idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). His practice combines careful neurologic examination with targeted imaging and multidisciplinary collaboration to restore function and reduce visual disability.

Dr. Kinde received his MD from Harvard Medical School and completed a PhD at Harvard University before ophthalmology residency at the University of California, San Francisco. He then pursued fellowship training in neuro-ophthalmology at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. In clinic he emphasizes clear communication and practical plans, whether prescribing prisms, managing medical therapy, or offering adult strabismus surgery when appropriate. He is committed to timely diagnoses, thoughtful counseling, and compassionate care for patients navigating complex neuro-visual symptoms.
