Dr. Daniel J. Simon
Overview
I feel fortunate to be able to spend my days helping preserve and restore eye health. I have always appreciated the ability of those in our profession to use the latest technological innovations to make rapid improvements in quality of life for our patients. I joined NCEENT in 2009 after 3 1/2 years in the Charlotte area. I have extensive experience with performing cataract surgery, the medical and surgical management of glaucoma (particularly minimally invasive glaucoma surgery), and laser vision correction surgery, along with diabetic eye exams and the treatment of dry eye and ocular surface disease. Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two boys, improving my photography skills, and homebrewing beer.

Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
Duke Eye Center
I was born and raised right here in Durham, NC. After attending college at Duke, I ventured north to Boston, where I completed most of my medical training, and was fortunate to meet and marry the love of my life, my husband Neil (also on faculty as a cardiologist here at Duke). I returned to Durham for my Glaucoma fellowship, briefly joined the faculty “across the street” at UNC-Chapel Hill, and then returned “home” to Duke Eye Center in 1995, where I have been on the faculty ever since. Dual fellowship-trained in both Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus as well as in Glaucoma, I have a clinical and research focus on pediatric glaucoma and cataracts, as well as retinopathy of prematurity, but enjoy providing care for myriad pediatric problems of the eyes, including treatment of “grown children” with ocular alignment issues. My modus operandi is very simple – I simply try hard to treat each and every patient the way I would like someone to treat me. It works every time, and I am privileged to be a clinician and educator at Duke Eye Center and in Duke University Health System.
