He offers the latest in medical, laser, and surgical treatment for glaucoma. He is proficient in cataract/ lens implant surgery, offering toric and presbyopic  lens implants for patients motivated to reduce their dependence on glasses.

“Glaucoma is challenging to treat and also challenging to explain.  I try to explain conditions to patients in understandable terms so we are all on the same page.  Every year we learn something new about glaucoma.  We have many new options for managing glaucoma that were not available at the start of my career.  It is an exciting time for glaucoma specialists.”

Patients consistently appreciate Dr. Nair’s attention to detail, his demeanor, and his thoughtful explanations that simplify complex ocular issues for patients. Dr. Nair is board certified with the American Board of Ophthalmology. He is active with the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Glaucoma Society.  Dr. Nair is a sub-investigator as part of the ongoing glaucoma clinical trials at Ophthalmology Associates.  He has also authored and co-authored publications ranging from clinical book chapters in Ophthalmology to presentations at AAO and ARVO meetings.  

In his spare time, Dr. Nair enjoys spending time with his wife and 2 young daughters.  He enjoys playing basketball with friends and is an avid sports fan.
