Overview

I am committed to helping patients improve their quality of life by optimizing their vision. I primarily treat patients with cataracts, corneal problems, and patients seeking independence from their contacts or glasses. I perform all types of cataract surgery including premium, laser-assisted, and complex cataract surgery. I perform partial and full-thickness corneal transplants in addition to refractive surgery procedures including LASIK and PRK. In my spare time, I am an avid college basketball fan, and I enjoy traveling with my wife and son.

I am a retina specialist, and in this role, I treat patients who have problems with the back of the eye. My practice is focused on injection and laser-based treatment in the clinic, as well as complex surgical cases in the operating room. I treat conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal vascular occlusion, macular edema, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, vitreomacular traction, secondary intraocular lens placement, and complex retinal detachments, among others. I truly enjoy the science behind treating retinal disease and helping patients optimize their visual potential. Many of the conditions I take care of require ongoing treatment and office visits, and one of my favorite things about my job is getting to know my patients and their families during these visits. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, running, and traveling. Dr. Borkar is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in Corneal Transplant. Her top areas of expertise are Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD), Late-Onset Retinal Degeneration, Retinal Detachment, Cataract Removal, and Vitrectomy.
