Dr. Lisa M. Tom is a comprehensive ophthalmologist and glaucoma specialist with particular expertise in cataract surgery and the full spectrum of glaucoma procedures. She offers minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), incisional operations such as trabeculectomy and tube shunts, and ophthalmic laser treatments, selecting the safest, most effective option for each patient. For cataracts, Dr. Tom employs advanced technology and premium lens implants designed to reduce dependence on glasses when appropriate. Dr. Tom graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University and earned her medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania. She completed ophthalmology residency at Massachusetts Eye and Ear, Harvard Medical School, and advanced fellowship training in glaucoma at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. Recognized as a Castle Connolly “Rising Star,” she has presented her research at national and international meetings. Fluent in Spanish, Dr. Tom is committed to thoughtful, patient-centered care and clear communication every step of the way.

Dr. Lindsay E. Dawson is a fellowship-trained cataract and glaucoma surgeon who cares for patients across the Washington, DC area. She focuses on the diagnosis, medical management, and surgical treatment of glaucoma, tailoring plans that may include the latest minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries as well as laser therapy or traditional procedures when appropriate. In addition to glaucoma care, Dr. Dawson performs cataract surgery and utilizes advanced technologies—such as femtosecond laser assistance and premium intraocular lenses—when they can help address astigmatism or presbyopia. Raised in New York, Dr. Dawson earned a Bachelor of Science at Lehigh University and completed medical school at the University of Pennsylvania. She trained in ophthalmology at the Scheie Eye Institute at Penn and completed a glaucoma fellowship at the Duke Eye Center. Patients value her clear communication and warm, patient-centered approach, and she enjoys partnering with individuals and families to protect sight and quality of life.

Elyse J. McGlumphy, MD, is a glaucoma specialist whose practice spans medical, laser and incisional glaucoma care as well as cataract surgery for patients with co-existing disease. She completed ophthalmology residency at the University of Maryland, where she served as Chief Resident, followed by a fellowship in glaucoma at the Wilmer Eye Institute. After fellowship, Dr. McGlumphy joined the Wilmer faculty as an assistant professor before returning to community practice. Her clinical interests include newer surgical technologies and long-term outcomes in glaucoma. She has an active research portfolio with a focus on home intraocular pressure monitoring (iCare) and diurnal IOP patterns, and she has delivered national and international lectures. With a clear, measured style, she helps patients understand the spectrum of options—from drops and laser to MIGS and filtering surgery—so treatment can be tailored to disease stage and lifestyle.
