About Me

Dr. James T. Walsh is a uveitis specialist who cares for patients with inflammatory eye diseases that can threaten sight and quality of life. He partners closely with each person to clarify the diagnosis, explain treatment choices in plain language, and coordinate care with referring doctors when systemic conditions are involved. His goal is to protect vision while minimizing treatment burden and side effects.

Dr. Walsh is an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences. He completed a fellowship in uveitis at Johns Hopkins after ophthalmology residency at the University of California, San Diego. He earned both his MD and a PhD focused on adaptive immune responses in traumatic optic neuropathy from the University of Virginia. His research interests include immune activation and trafficking in uveitis, and he brings this scientific perspective to individualized, evidence-based care.
