Nathaniel Aidan Blecher
Clinical Assistant Professor, Ophthalmology
BioDr. Nathaniel Blecher is a board-certified, fellowship-trained ophthalmologist who specializes in glaucoma care at Stanford Health Care. He is also a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
His clinical interests include innovative surgical treatments for glaucoma—including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS)—as well as the connection between lifestyle and ocular health. Dr. Blecher provides comprehensive care for the full spectrum of glaucoma, both early-stage and particularly advanced disease.
