About Me
Dr. Gurpal Virdi is an ophthalmology resident physician and chief resident at the University of Missouri in Columbia. He combines clinical training with interests in technology, AI and imaging to improve how clinicians plan refractive and cataract procedures and manage glaucoma. His education includes an MD at the University of Missouri, an M.A. in Biology from Washington University in St. Louis, and a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Health Care Ethics from Saint Louis University.
Dr. Virdi cares for patients with cataracts, keratoconus and glaucoma and evaluates candidates for vision correction. He explains testing in plain language and uses shared decision-making to balance safety, visual goals and lifestyle. Outside of clinic he contributes to research and presentations on implantable collamer lenses, glaucoma procedures and data-driven eye care—work that helps him bring practical, up-to-date guidance to every visit.
