About Me

Dr. Lindsay E. Dawson is a fellowship-trained cataract and glaucoma surgeon who cares for patients across the Washington, DC area. She focuses on the diagnosis, medical management, and surgical treatment of glaucoma, tailoring plans that may include the latest minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries as well as laser therapy or traditional procedures when appropriate. In addition to glaucoma care, Dr. Dawson performs cataract surgery and utilizes advanced technologies—such as femtosecond laser assistance and premium intraocular lenses—when they can help address astigmatism or presbyopia.
