Michael Gale, MD, is a glaucoma specialist at OHSU’s Casey Eye Institute who cares for both adults and children with all forms of glaucoma. He works closely with patients and families to explain the disease, outline options, and choose the least invasive approach that can safely protect vision. Depending on each person’s needs, Dr. Gale offers medications, laser procedures, minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries and, when indicated, traditional operations. Dr. Gale’s interests include pediatric glaucoma and community eye health, and he enjoys collaborating with primary eye doctors and other specialists to manage complex or secondary glaucomas. He completed ophthalmology residency at OHSU and advanced fellowship training in glaucoma at the University of California, Davis. Outside of clinic and surgery, he’s active in education and enjoys the outdoors. Patients appreciate his calm manner, clear communication, and the comprehensive resources available through the Casey Eye Institute’s team-based model of care.
