About Me

Dr. Mathieu Bakhoum is a vitreoretinal surgeon who cares for adults with both common and complex retinal conditions. At Yale Eye Center, he treats age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, epiretinal membranes, and retinal vein and artery occlusions, using the latest medical and surgical techniques. Patients value his calm explanations, thorough evaluations, and clear guidance about what to expect before and after treatment. In addition to patient care, Dr. Bakhoum is a faculty member at Yale School of Medicine. His research explores how retinal imaging can reveal the health of the body, and he studies cancers such as uveal melanoma with the goal of improving diagnosis and therapy. He regularly mentors trainees and shares his work at national meetings and in peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Bakhoum completed residency training in ophthalmology and advanced fellowship training in vitreoretinal surgery, giving him a strong foundation for the full spectrum of medical and surgical retina care.
