Lakshmi Swamy, MD, PhD is a Raleigh-based pediatric and general ophthalmologist specializing in high-risk and hospital-based eye care.
In partnership with hospital systems and other organizations that need dedicated attention to their most vulnerable patients, Dr. Swamy has developed a niche expertise in eye trauma, inpatient eye care, retinopathy of prematurity, and special needs children. She combines kindness with clinical excellence and systems design to build safer, more accessible, and equitable models of care.
I am a board-certified ophthalmologist, which means that I'm an eye physician and surgeon. My specialty is taking care of children, and all of their eye care. I also specialize in eye alignment (strabismus) and double vision problems in people of all ages, including adults.
Connecting with children and families is an art. From the tiniest of premature babies that I see in the hospital, to big kids, to adults, I enjoy coming up with creative ways to listen to and connect with families, to meet you where you are, and to work with you to come up with a plan.
Most of my patients do not need surgery, but when they do, I have the training and experience to operate on children and adults for eye alignment issues and other problems, from the common to the complex.
