About Me
Dr. Saif Alryalat is an ophthalmologist at the University of Illinois Chicago who cares for people with glaucoma, cataracts, complex anterior segment problems, and neuro-ophthalmic symptoms such as sudden vision loss or double vision. He completed advanced fellowship training in Glaucoma and Anterior Segment Surgery at the University of Colorado and additional fellowships in Neuro-Ophthalmology at MD Anderson Cancer Center and at the Blanton Eye Institute (Houston Methodist Hospital). As an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences, he combines meticulous diagnosis with clear communication so patients understand their condition and options. When needed, he collaborates closely with colleagues in neurology and neurosurgery to coordinate care. Dr. Alryalat is committed to advancing the field through education and research; his work includes developing and evaluating artificial intelligence tools in ophthalmology and authoring a widely used board review resource. Whether a patient needs pressure-lowering treatment, cataract surgery, or evaluation of complex visual symptoms, he focuses on practical solutions that fit each person’s goals and everyday life.
