Dr. Alexander S. Barsam
Overview
I am a clinician dedicated to helping adults preserve and improve their vision. My main focus is cataract surgery where I can offer advanced technology intraocular lenses, as well as minimally invasive glaucoma surgery. Undergoing eye surgery can be daunting and my main goal is to make patients feel comfortable throughout the process. My mother was a NICU nurse at Children’s Hospital and my dad is an entrepreneur in the health care sector. Both of my parents instilled a sense of curiosity and enjoyment in helping others, which is why I eventually chose a path in medicine. Following residency training, I was Chief of Ophthalmic Trauma at Washington University in St. Louis, where I later become Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology. I taught cataract surgery to senior residents and also had the great opportunity to work with the glaucoma team at the Veterans Affairs Hospital. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my significant other and our golden retriever. We love to travel and explore the outdoors, whether on hikes or relaxing at the beach.
