Arsham Sheybani

Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at Washington University School of Medicine in ST. LOUIS, MO, USA

Sheybani specializes in glaucoma and complex anterior segment surgery. He is actively involved in research developing devices to improve the safety of glaucoma surgery, pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, malignant glaucoma, and angle closure glaucoma. Sheybani is an avid surgical teacher of residents and fellows, and he lectures nationally and internationally on novel glaucoma surgeries and complex surgical cases.
