About Me
Paulina Liberman Salazar, MD, is a uveitis and comprehensive ophthalmology specialist focused on preventing vision loss from ocular inflammation. She treats the spectrum of uveitic disease, including complex cases that require careful use of topical, periocular and systemic immunosuppression, and works closely with rheumatology and cornea colleagues when surface disease or systemic autoimmune conditions are involved. Dr. Liberman also performs cataract and refractive surgery, offering precise preoperative planning and a balanced discussion of risks and benefits. Before joining Johns Hopkins, she led a uveitis service in Chile, experience that informs her global perspective on access and outcomes. Her research and publications emphasize practical diagnostic strategies and therapies that improve day-to-day vision and quality of life. Patients praise her calm, thorough communication and the way she individualizes treatment to their goals and lifestyles.
