Ayman Naseri, M.D.

Ophthalmologist

Dr. Ayman Naseri specializes in cataract and laser refractive surgery. He is chief of the Ophthalmology Surgical Service at the San Francisco Veteran's Affairs Medical Center. He earned an undergraduate and medical degree at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., where he was honored with admittance to the Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha honor societies. Subsequently, he completed an internship at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz. and then a three-year ophthalmology residency at UCSF, where he obtained fellowship training in cornea, external disease and refractive surgery at the Proctor Foundation.

After completing specialty training, Naseri joined the Department of Ophthalmology at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz. as a full-time faculty member and consultant. During his time there, he was the first faculty member to perform laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery. In 2005, he joined UCSF where he is an assistant professor of clinical ophthalmology.
