Serving the Greater Baltimore Area

“In our society, if you lose your sight, you lose your independence.”
Dr. Bert M. Glaser was an internationally respected retina surgeon who practiced for over 35 years. After devoting ten years as Professor of Ophthalmology and Vitreoretinal Surgery and as Director for the Center for Vitreoretinal Research at The Wilmer Eye Institute of The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Dr. Glaser established his own retina treatment center, which evolved into The National Retina Institute. Under Dr. Glaser’s direction, NRI became one of the most preeminent retina research and treatment centers in the world.
