About Me

Dr. Narges Zandvakil is an ophthalmologist and glaucoma specialist who cares for adults with both early and advanced forms of the disease. She chose ophthalmology after becoming fascinated by the science of vision and how targeted treatments can preserve sight. During residency and fellowship, she was drawn to the complexity of diagnosing and managing glaucoma and the long-term relationships that form when guiding patients through a chronic condition. Her approach is patient-centered and collaborative. Dr. Zandvakil focuses on clear communication, thoughtful education, and shared decision-making so each person understands their diagnosis, options, and next steps. She offers medical, laser, and surgical strategies tailored to stage of disease and lifestyle, with an emphasis on safety, comfort, and continuity of care. She is fluent in Farsi and welcomes patients seeking comprehensive glaucoma care and second opinions.
