About Me

Dr. Nicholas Braud is a comprehensive ophthalmologist who enjoys caring for patients across the full spectrum of eye health, from routine exams to advanced surgical solutions. A Louisiana native, he studied biology at LSU and earned his medical degree at LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. He completed an internal medicine internship at Tulane and ophthalmology residency training with Ochsner/LSU Health in Shreveport before returning home to serve the Baton Rouge community.

Dr. Braud’s practice emphasizes clear communication and practical, evidence-based guidance. He offers premium cataract surgery with multifocal lens options and performs minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). For appropriate candidates, he provides dropless cataract surgery to simplify recovery and reduce the burden of postoperative drops. He also offers refractive surgery and diabetic eye screenings alongside annual comprehensive eye exams. Patients appreciate his approachable style, attention to detail, and commitment to helping them see comfortably and confidently.
