About Me

Dr. Jonathan Chao is a cornea and anterior segment specialist focused on restoring comfort and clarity for patients with complex surface disease and visually significant cataracts. He treats dry eye, keratitis, corneal dystrophies, keratoconus, and pterygium, and offers corneal transplantation when medical therapy is not enough. For cataracts, he emphasizes shared decision-making around premium lens technologies to address astigmatism and presbyopia. He also provides laser vision correction (LASIK/PRK) for appropriate candidates and longitudinal care to optimize the ocular surface before and after surgery. Dr. Chao completed fellowship training in Cornea and External Disease with Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston and the New England Eye Center/Tufts. He previously served as chief resident at the Beaumont Eye Institute and earned his MD at the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine after undergraduate study at the University of Michigan. Patients appreciate his careful evaluations, clear explanations, and thoughtful, stepwise treatment plans.
