About Us


Dr. Sai Gandham has been providing glaucoma and cataract care in the Capital Region since 1997. He was joined this year by Dr. Brian Zerbe, providing comprehensive eye care. Assisted by a team of well trained, caring staff, we are always available to provide excellent, compassionate care.

Our office contains advanced diagnostic and laser treatment equipment to diagnose and treat glaucoma early and accurately, before extensive damage has been done.

Diagnostic Equipment includes: GDx Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Analyzer, Digital Optic Nerve Photography, Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer, Frequency Doubling Technology Field Analyzer, and Ultrasonic Pachymeter.

Glaucoma laser treatments include Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty and YAG iridotomy.

When surgical treatment is necessary for glaucoma, cataracts, or other eye diseases we perform procedures at the South Clinical Campus surgery center of Albany Medical Center.

Besides routine eye examinations and conditions we provide treatment for include:
  • Glaucoma
  • Cataracts
  • Eye injuries
  • Eye infections
  • Inflammation of the eye
  • Uveitis
  • Conjunctivitis
  • Dry Eye
  • Routine Eye Examinations

As clinical faculty at Albany Medical College we also enjoy training both residents and medical students.
