About Me
Dr. Ishrat Ahmed is a vitreoretinal surgeon at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Medicine. She treats the full spectrum of medical and surgical retina conditions, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, retinal tears, and retinal detachment. With a background in neuroscience and an interest in inherited retinal diseases, she pairs state-of-the-art imaging with clear, step-by-step guidance so patients know what to expect at every visit and after surgery.
Dr. Ahmed completed ophthalmology residency at the Wilmer Eye Institute and a retina fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital after earning her combined MD/PhD at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She offers office-based treatments such as anti-VEGF injections and laser as well as surgery for macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and complex detachments. Her goal is straightforward: protect sight with the safest, most effective therapy and thoughtful follow-up tailored to each patient’s life.
