Overview
My practice focuses on the surgical and medical treatment of cornea, anterior segment, and lens disorders in adults and children. I specialize in corneal transplant surgery, cataract surgery with advanced technology lenses, intraocular lens complications, and refractive surgery such as LASIK and PRK. I am fortunate to work at this wonderful institution and in a field where we have the technology to impact lives daily through improvement and customization of vision. I love forming relationships with patients and offering the newest technologies available. Outside of work, I enjoy teaching residents, fellows, and other ophthalmologists both locally and at national meetings. I also love traveling, spending time outdoors biking or running, trying new restaurants, and spending time with my husband and dog.

Duke Eye Center
Vision is so intricately related to one's quality of life. Many patients who come to the Duke Eye Center are concerned that they could be going blind, but they rarely ask that question directly. It is important that my patients clearly understand their eye disease process, the risks, benefits and all treatment options so that we can make joint decisions. I try to reassure, when possible, and share the positives, such as 'their eye condition may only affect one eye' or that 'it is possible to improve their vision or prevent further visual loss'. We also discuss how other health problems or lifestyle decisions can affect their visual health. When someone has a vision threatening condition, it is my goal to ensure that they know that, as their physician, I will advise them and guide them through their treatment and the often complicated medical system. I enjoy what I do every day as part of the Duke Health family!. Dr. Fekrat is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in Vitrectomy.
