About Me

Dr. Xinxin Zhang is a comprehensive ophthalmologist at Cape Fear Eye Associates who provides attentive, evidence-based care for patients across the spectrum of medical and surgical eye disease. She completed ophthalmology residency at the Duke Eye Center after earning her MD at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and a summa cum laude bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Wake Forest University. In clinic, Dr. Zhang takes time to explain findings, discuss practical treatment options, and coordinate follow-up so patients feel supported at every step.

Her training and early scholarly work span cataract and glaucoma care, retinal diseases, and tele-ophthalmology. Dr. Zhang’s contributions have been recognized with honors including the K. Alexander Dastgheib Surgical Excellence Award, the ASCRS Resident Excellence Award, and Duke Ophthalmology’s Resident Teacher of the Year.
