He evaluates complex visual symptoms—from double vision and nystagmus to optic nerve disorders and thyroid eye disease—and crafts individualized plans that may include observation, prisms, medication, surgery, or co-management with neurology and oncology. His clinical interests also include pediatric and angle-closure glaucomas and tumors of the conjunctiva, iris and choroid.
Dr. Puthussery completed medical school and ophthalmology residency at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences and went on to advanced fellowships at Emory University, Cleveland Clinic, and the University of Cincinnati/Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. He is active in national societies and has authored journal articles, book chapters and meeting presentations.
