About Me
Dr. Lisa S. Gamell is a board-certified ophthalmic surgeon specializing in the treatment of glaucoma, cataracts, and anterior segment diseases. She is an expert in all aspects of glaucoma management, offering medical treatment, laser procedures, and surgical options ranging from traditional trabeculectomy and tube shunt procedures to the latest minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) techniques.
Dr. Gamell has a particular focus on cataract surgery for patients with glaucoma, helping them determine the best surgical approach based on their specific level of disease. During her fellowship, she contributed to early research demonstrating that cataract surgery can lower eye pressure in glaucoma patients, which informs her patient-centered approach to care.
