Dr. Romulo Albuquerque is an ophthalmologist and physician–scientist who cares for patients with complex retinal disorders and inflammatory eye disease. He believes that excellent outcomes come from listening carefully, explaining options in plain language, and partnering with patients and their families to choose treatments that fit their lives. In clinic, he uses advanced imaging and evidence-based therapies to preserve sight and reduce the burden of chronic disease. Dr. Albuquerque completed an MS at the University of Kentucky’s Orofacial Pain Center, followed by a PhD in Physiology/Ophthalmology focused on VEGF signaling and lymphangiogenesis. He earned his MD at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine and stayed to complete ophthalmology residency at University of Kentucky Hospital, where he later joined the faculty. Patients appreciate his steady approach, clear communication, and focus on coordinated care with referring doctors and primary care teams.
