Dr. Amol A. Sura
Overview
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.

Duke Eye Center
I’m a retina specialist who takes care of patients who have problems with the back of the eye. When a patient comes to see me, I like getting to know them and their history, so that I can tailor their treatment. My patients come from a variety of different backgrounds, so I find that I often learn as much from them as they do from me. Everybody has a different story and I very much like to learn about the patients to whom I provide care. Duke is a great place at which to work and from which to seek treatment because it’s a very collaborative institution. Everyone works together to do what’s best for the patient. Outside of work, I like to spend as much time as possible with my family. I also enjoy cooking, playing sports and watching sports.
