Bryce Chiang, M.D., Ph.D., is an assistant professor of ophthalmology and a glaucoma specialist at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Medicine East Baltimore location. His clinical interests include the medical and surgical management of glaucoma and cataract. After receiving his combined bachelor’s/master’s degrees in biomedical engineering from The Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Chiang completed joint M.D./Ph.D. degrees at the Emory University School of Medicine. During his doctorate in biomedical engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Dr. Chiang became interested in ophthalmology through his research in ocular drug delivery. He served as a medicine intern at Highland Hospital in Oakland, California, and completed his ophthalmology residency, glaucoma fellowship and innovation fellowship at the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford University.
