Philosophy of Care
I strive to provide the best possible care by listening to your concerns, taking time to explain things clearly, and being available to answer your questions. Vision is our most important sense, and I am committed to working together in caring for the health of your eyes and eyesight by offering the most current, evidence-based treatments.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Ma is a fellowship-trained ophthalmologist providing comprehensive care for common eye conditions such as cataract and glaucoma, as well as diseases of the cornea. He has a particular focus in ocular surface disease, including dry eye disease, allergic eye disease, Sjogren's syndrome, graft-versus-host disease and others. His clinical interests also include complex cataract surgery, corneal diseases and corneal transplantation.
Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Ma serves as the Director of Medical Student Education for the Department of Ophthalmology and has a strong interest in medical student and resident education.
