About Me

Dr. Shazia Dharssi is a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained oculoplastic and reconstructive surgeon at Stanford Health Care. As a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Ophthalmology, she cares for adults with conditions that affect the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbit. She offers both functional and cosmetic eyelid procedures and tailors each plan to restore comfort, vision, and appearance while prioritizing safety and natural results.

Her expertise includes ptosis and eyelid malposition repair, tear duct surgery, and reconstruction after skin cancer removal, as well as evaluation and treatment of thyroid eye disease and other orbital conditions. Dr. Dharssi is also active in research at the intersection of ophthalmology and computing, using deep learning and related tools to improve diagnosis and outcomes in eye care. She has authored peer-reviewed publications and presented at national and international meetings. Patients value her thoughtful explanations, collaborative decision-making, and the continuity of care she provides before and after surgery.
