About Me

Dr. Jason Papas is a cornea and external disease specialist dedicated to helping patients see clearly and comfortably again. He treats scarring, keratoconus, infections, and other corneal problems with medical therapy and advanced surgical options. When surgery is appropriate, he performs modern corneal transplants and offers vision-correcting procedures tailored to each eye. He also manages complex cataracts and works closely with referring optometrists and ophthalmologists to coordinate care.

Dr. Papas completed fellowship training in cornea, external disease, and refractive surgery after ophthalmology residency. Patients describe his style as approachable and thorough—he explains the plan, sets expectations, and follows patients closely through recovery so results match their goals.
