About Me

He provides comprehensive medical and surgical care for conditions that threaten the macula and peripheral retina, and explains each step—from imaging to injections or surgery—so patients know what to expect. His approach emphasizes timely treatment, careful follow-up, and coordination with primary eye care to safeguard vision. Dr. Akanda completed an ophthalmology residency at Northwell Health, followed by a uveitis fellowship at Northwell and vitreoretinal disease and surgery fellowship training at Loma Linda University Health.
