Dr. Melissa B. Daluvoy

I am dedicated to helping people of all ages preserve, restore, and maximize their vision. I perform all types of refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK, ICL, and refractive lens exchange) so that I can offer my patients a treatment customized to their needs. I also specialize in cataract surgery, including premium lenses, corneal transplants, and other procedures of the eye surface. In addition to my work at Duke Health, I am heavily involved in humanitarian eye care in Africa and around the world. I am the founder of HelpMercy International, a founder of the Moran CORE education website, and was one of the surgeons featured in the award-winning movie Duk County. I live in Chapel Hill with my wife and three children who helped me write and produce a full-length musical called “RISE.” We also enjoy cycling, rock climbing, and building and playing guitars, basses, and drums.

My practice focuses on the surgical and medical treatment of cornea, anterior segment, and lens disorders in adults and children.

I am fortunate to work at this wonderful institution and in a field where we have the technology to impact lives daily through improvement and customization of vision. I love forming relationships with patients and offering the newest technologies available. Outside of work, I enjoy teaching residents, fellows, and other ophthalmologists both locally and at national meetings. I also love traveling, spending time outdoors biking or running, trying new restaurants, and spending time with my husband and dog.

I specialize in the medical and surgical care of patients with complex inflammatory, autoimmune, and infectious diseases of the eyes, including inflammation inside of the eyes (uveitis) and on the surface of the eyes. I am experienced in using new immunosuppressive medications, biologic agents, injectable therapies, and in-office technologies for uveitis and ocular surface disease. I also perform routine and complex cataract surgery. I believe in an individualized approach to treating disease. This involves a complete review of one’s health, close monitoring, and collaboration with other specialists, such as rheumatologists, infectious disease specialists, pediatricians, and internal medicine doctors. My clinical interests include uveitis, iridocyclitis, scleritis, pediatric uveitis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, ocular cicatricial pemphigoid, bacterial and viral infections of the eye, ocular rosacea, and severe dry eye. I believe in providing the best care to patients with serious eye conditions. Dr. Sura is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Cloudy Cornea.
