About Me

Dr. James C. Liu is a glaucoma specialist who helps adults protect and preserve vision with thoughtful, step-wise care. He sees patients for the full spectrum of glaucoma, from early disease found on screening to advanced cases that may require surgery. Dr. Liu offers medical therapy, laser options, and surgical solutions, and he takes time to explain each choice so patients can decide what fits their goals and lifestyle. He also performs cataract surgery, including cases in eyes with glaucoma, and provides comprehensive eye care.

His clinical interests include minimally invasive glaucoma surgery and complex glaucoma procedures. In his research and quality-improvement work, Dr. Liu studies better ways to screen for glaucoma and optimize surgical practice patterns. He completed glaucoma fellowship training after ophthalmology residency and an additional fellowship in ophthalmic trauma, and he brings that broad surgical experience to the exam room and operating room. Patients appreciate his calm communication style and focus on long-term, durable results.
