“Amazing Dr, expert, human, and kind soul. Had my surgery with him a few years back and continue to visit and have him as my trusted point of contact, rare to find such a good person and so skilled and talented.”
Dr. Pradeep Prasad has dedicated his career to two pursuits: restoring vision and ensuring every patient truly understands their diagnosis. As former Chief of Ophthalmology at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Retina Fellowship Program Director and Professor of Ophthalmology at UCLA’s Jules Stein Eye Institute, he has trained over 100 residents and fellows— teaching the next generation of eye surgeons the same principles he brings to every consultation: precision, patience, and clear communication.
Dr. Prasad is an internationally recognized leader in retina and specializes in the full spectrum of vitreoretinal conditions, from diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration to complex surgical cases. His approach combines academic-level expertise with a genuine commitment to explaining even the most complicated diagnoses in terms patients and their families can understand. Because when you’re facing a threat to your vision, knowledge isn’t just power—it’s peace of mind.

“Throughout my care, Dr. Prasad has been consistently attentive, compassionate, and exceptionally knowledgeable. He has always made himself available to address my questions and concerns—even on weekends—which speaks volumes about his dedication to his patients.”
“My husband had a complication because of the anatomy of his eye, but Dr. Prasad was prepared and adjusted the surgery to account for the anomaly. My husband went from not being able to see through his left eye to essentially 20-20 vision in that eye.”
