Biography and Expertise

Dr. Abramoff’s research has largely focused on assessing the performance of smart cameras enhanced with AI algorithms to detect signs of diabetic retinopathy.

I am a retinal specialist – a physician who specialized in ophthalmology and who then did a fellowship in vitreoretinal surgery – who treats patients with retinal diseases.
