About Me

Dr. Karam Alawa is a glaucoma specialist who combines advanced surgical techniques with personalized, long-term disease management. He cares for the full spectrum of glaucoma—from early cases controlled with laser or MIGS to complex disease requiring filtration or tube shunt surgery—and frequently pairs cataract and glaucoma procedures to streamline recovery. Patients value his clear explanations, attention to imaging and pressure trends, and careful follow-up. Dr. Alawa trained in ophthalmology at the University of Iowa and completed a glaucoma fellowship at Harvard-affiliated Mass Eye and Ear. He also has a track record of innovation, including work applying virtual reality to portable visual field testing. In Miami, he collaborates within a multi-specialty eye care team to deliver efficient, evidence-based care.
