About Me

Dr. Sana Idrees is a fellowship-trained retina specialist who cares for the full spectrum of medical and surgical vitreoretinal disease. She combines meticulous surgical technique with clear, compassionate communication so patients understand their diagnosis and options at every step. Her clinical approach emphasizes evidence-based care, shared decision-making, and close coordination with referring optometrists and primary care teams to protect vision over the long term.

Dr. Idrees earned her medical degree at The George Washington University School of Medicine after completing a B.A. in Religion at George Washington University. She went on to an internship at Georgetown University/Washington Hospital Center, residency in Ophthalmology at the Flaum Eye Institute (University of Rochester), and a vitreoretinal surgery fellowship at the Flaum Eye Institute, where she trained in advanced techniques for retinal detachment repair, macular surgery, and the management of diabetic and age-related macular disease. Patients appreciate her steady bedside manner, detailed explanations, and commitment to tailoring treatment—whether observation, office-based injections or laser, or complex microsurgery—to each person’s goals and lifestyle.
