About Me

Dr. Rajesh Sasikumar is a glaucoma specialist and associate professor of ophthalmology who cares for patients with the full spectrum of glaucoma—from early diagnosis to complex, surgical disease. He offers medical, laser, and surgical options and tailors each plan to a patient’s goals and lifestyle. As Co-Director of Clinical Trials, he helps bring promising therapies from research into real-world care and ensures patients have access to advanced treatments when appropriate.

Dr. Sasikumar’s training spans leading eye centers across Asia and Australia, giving him a broad, practical perspective on how to manage challenging glaucoma presentations. He routinely performs procedures such as trabeculectomy, tube shunts, combined cataract–glaucoma surgery, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). Patients appreciate his clear explanations, careful follow-up, and focus on preserving vision and independence over the long term.
