About Me

Dr. Chao Li is an ophthalmologist and cataract surgeon with Charlotte Eye Ear Nose & Throat Associates (CEENTA). He provides comprehensive eye care for adults, with a focus on restoring clarity through modern cataract surgery. He also cares for patients with refractive error, diabetic eye disease, dry eye, and common anterior segment problems. Patients appreciate his approachable style and the way he explains testing and treatment choices in plain language.

Dr. Li completed medical school at Tulane University School of Medicine after undergraduate studies at Tulane University, and finished ophthalmology residency at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore/Krieger Eye Institute. His practice includes femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange when appropriate. He aims to match technology to each patient’s goals—whether that means reducing dependence on glasses, protecting eye health with regular exams, or addressing specific vision changes with timely, evidence-based care.
