New Mexico ophthalmology expert witnesses provide clinical insight on eye disease diagnosis, surgical standards, and vision outcomes. They commonly are board-certified ophthalmologists and subspecialists in cataract and refractive surgery, glaucoma, retina, and pediatric care from academic and community practices. Many have experience with UNM Health and rural referral patterns across the state. They evaluate adherence to ophthalmic protocols, causation of visual loss, and the appropriateness of treatment decisions.
