About Me
Tayaba Nada Azher, MD, provides comprehensive, practical eye care with a focus on what matters most to each patient’s daily life. She evaluates and treats cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye, and diabetic eye disease, and offers minor eyelid procedures and in-office laser treatments when appropriate. Patients describe her as thorough and approachable, with a clear plan for next steps and an emphasis on prevention and long-term vision health.
Dr. Azher completed her ophthalmology residency at the University of Minnesota after earning her medical degree from Saint Louis University. She offers modern cataract surgery and both medical and laser therapy for glaucoma, including options designed to reduce drops when possible. Her consultations are collaborative and easy to follow—she explains findings in plain language, reviews risks and benefits, and tailors care to each person’s goals and schedule so they can move forward with confidence.
