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. Raised in New York, Dr. Dawson earned a Bachelor of Science at Lehigh University and completed medical school at the University of Pennsylvania. She trained in ophthalmology at the Scheie Eye Institute at Penn and completed a glaucoma fellowship at the Duke Eye Center. Patients value her clear communication and warm, patient-centered approach, and she enjoys partnering with individuals and families to protect sight and quality of life.

Elyse J. McGlumphy, MD, is a glaucoma specialist whose practice spans medical, laser and incisional glaucoma care as well as cataract surgery for patients with co-existing disease. She completed ophthalmology residency at the University of Maryland, where she served as Chief Resident, followed by a fellowship in glaucoma at the Wilmer Eye Institute. After fellowship, Dr. McGlumphy joined the Wilmer faculty as an assistant professor before returning to community practice. Her clinical interests include newer surgical technologies and long-term outcomes in glaucoma. She has an active research portfolio with a focus on home intraocular pressure monitoring (iCare) and diurnal IOP patterns, and she has delivered national and international lectures. With a clear, measured style, she helps patients understand the spectrum of options—from drops and laser to MIGS and filtering surgery—so treatment can be tailored to disease stage and lifestyle.
