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.

He also manages complex cataracts and works closely with referring optometrists and ophthalmologists to coordinate care.
