Services
Dr. Douglas Greer opened his ophthalmology practice in Washington DC in 1975. Since then, in addition to general ophthalmology, his areas of interest have included:
● Eye emergencies - treated patients in Emergency Departments of 6 hospitals in DC/Northern Virginia; instructed in screening eye emergencies at several annual meetings, including JCAHPO
● Effects of solar ultraviolet on the eye – presented in-the-field dosimetry of tropical solar UV reaching eyelids at the American Society of Photobiology, Edward Harkness Eye Institute, and other academic forums
● The use of lasers in general ophthalmic practice – was an early adopter of lasers in comprehensive ophthalmology
● Corneal transplantation – instructed corneal transplantation at the DC VA Hospital for ten years
● Other areas of interest: Glaucoma; glaucoma patient education; benefits/risks of LASIK; eye allergies and intracellular magnesium deficiency
The practice provides comprehensive ophthalmological care — ranging from contact lenses and glasses vision correction to the diagnosis and treatment of emergent and chronic eye disorders — to people of all ages. We strive, when indicated, to schedule patients without delay and take the time required for both diagnosis and treatment and to educate patients about their eye conditions, stressing prevention and helping them to maintain good eye health and vision in the context of their overall health status.
