About Me
Dr. Jacob Diskin is a comprehensive ophthalmologist with special interests in cataract, refractive, and glaucoma surgery. He emphasizes attentive listening and collaborative planning so patients fully understand their diagnosis and choices, from nonsurgical therapies to advanced surgical options. Dr. Diskin manages a wide range of conditions—including dry eye disease, diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, uveitis, and glaucoma—and tailors care plans using current evidence and modern technology. A Michigan native, he earned his MD at Wayne State University School of Medicine and completed ophthalmology residency at the Kresge Eye Institute, finishing his training in 2023.
