Allen O. Eghrari, M.D., M.P.H., is director of the Dana Center for Preventive Ophthalmology at the Wilmer Eye Institute and associate professor of ophthalmology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He specializes in cornea, cataract and external eye diseases at the Wilmer Eye Institute's locations in Baltimore and Belcamp, Maryland. Dr. Eghrari treats a wide range of eye conditions, with special interest in Fuchs' dystrophy, cataract surgery, cornea transplantation including Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty, and Ebola-associated eye disease. Dr. Eghrari received his M.D. degree from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and M.P.H. from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. He completed both residency training in ophthalmology and subspecialty fellowship in cornea and cataract surgery at the Wilmer Eye Institute. Dr. Eghrari is a recipient of the Claes Dohlman Society Fellowship Award, the ARVO/Alcon Early Career Clinician-Scientist Award, and the Research to Prevent Blindness Special Scholar Award.

Jithin Yohannan, M.D., M.P.H. is Boone Pickens Rising Professor of Ophthalmology at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His practice specializes in medical, laser, and surgical treatment of glaucoma, focusing on minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) and new glaucoma surgical devices. He also performs both routine and complex cataract surgery. Dr. Yohannan also specializes in the surgical management of complex problems of the anterior segment (front of the eye). These problems include issues arising after trauma or prior surgery gone wrong, such as dislocated intraocular lenses (IOL) or iris and pupil defects.Dr. Yohannan earned his bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from New York University, where he graduated summa cum laude. He then received his medical and master of public health degrees from Johns Hopkins University. He completed an ophthalmology residency at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. From there, he served as a fellow in glaucoma and advanced anterior segment surgery at the University of Toronto. Dr. Yohannan then returned to Wilmer to serve as Assistant Chief of Service for one year, after which he joined the glaucoma division. Dr. Yohannan holds a joint appointment at the Malone Center of Engineering in Healthcare. He leads a lab that focuses on using artificial intelligence algorithms to aid in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma patients. He has a background in biostatistics, epidemiology, and mathematics, which enables this effort. His group has developed AI models that forecast high-risk glaucoma patients and is focused on translating these models for clinical application. Additionally, his group aims to understand how we can optimize structural and functional glaucoma testing to improve the detection of glaucoma worsening. Dr. Yohannan also has a clinical and research interest in novel surgical devices used to treat glaucoma. These devices promise to make glaucoma surgery safer and easier to recover from.

Moon Lee, M.D., is an assistant professor of ophthalmology at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Medicine. Dr. Lee is a fellowship-trained glaucoma and cataract surgeon who specializes in the medical, laser and surgical treatment of routine and complex glaucoma. She performs cataract surgery and glaucoma surgery, including both traditional glaucoma surgeries and the broad range of minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS). Dr. Lee earned her bachelor’s degree in biology at Emory University, and received her medical degree from The Johns Hopkins University. She completed her ophthalmology residency at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Medicine and glaucoma fellowship at Wills Eye Hospital, after which she joined the glaucoma division at Wilmer.
