About Me

Dr. Matthew D. Paul is a cataract and general ophthalmology specialist who brings decades of experience to his practice at Connecticut Eye Consultants. He is dedicated to providing patient-focused eye care and takes pride in the results his patients achieve, often describing the 'wow factor' when patients experience improved vision after cataract surgery. Dr. Paul specializes in modern cataract procedures and advanced lens implants, including depth of focus and multifocal lenses, which can reduce dependence on glasses.

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Paul serves as Clinical Research Director, reflecting his commitment to advancing ophthalmic care. He completed his medical training at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons and his ophthalmology residency at Harkness Eye Institute at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. His approach to surgery is driven by the challenge of difficult cases and the reward of seeing patients' lives improved.

Dr. Paul treats a range of eye conditions, with a particular focus on cataracts and refractive lens exchange. He believes that modern cataract surgery is an extraordinary moment in medicine and is dedicated to helping patients achieve the best possible visual outcomes.
