General Practitioners

Headaches
Primary Care
Sometimes an eye problem is part of a general health problem. In these situations, your primary care provider should also be involved.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma — increased pressure in the eye, causing poor night vision, blind spots, and loss of vision to either side. A major cause of blindness. Glaucoma can happen gradually or suddenly — if sudden, it’s a medical emergency.
Ophthalmology
Dr Kazim is responsible for the training of residents in the Department of Ophthalmology at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. There are regularly residents who visit for a period of 1-3 months from both US and Foreign residency programs. In addition, Dr Kazim trains both US and International Fellows in the subspecialty of Oculoplastic and Orbital Surgery, a highly competitive fellowship program.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration — loss of central vision, blurred vision (especially while reading), distorted vision (like seeing wavy lines), and colors appearing faded. The most common cause of blindness in people over age 60.
Laser Eye Surgery
Ophthalmologists are physicians who diagnose and treat diseases that affect the eyes. They also perform eye surgery. These doctors may also provide routine vision care services, such as prescribing glasses and contact lenses.
Cataracts
Cataracts — cloudiness over the eye lens, causing poor night time vision, halos around lights, and sensitivity to glare. Daytime vision is eventually affected. Common in the elderly.

ITEDS fosters clinical research and patient education in he field of Thyroid Eye Disease. He has published 200 article and book chapters, and is an editor or reviewer for a dozen peer-review journals.

He has earned the Departmental Teaching award on two occasions, AAO teaching recognition, and has been invited to speak at over 200 national and international conferences, universities and hospitals.
Reconstructive Surgery
The NYC Combined Oculoplastic Fellowship is a two-year program under the aegis of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS). The fellowship offers participation in more than 1500 diverse ophthalmic plastic surgical cases. Fellows rotate with associate preceptors at all major NYC hospitals, providing full exposure to all aspects of ophthalmic plastic surgery. In addition, fellowship electives are completed in craniofacial surgery, dermatology, neuroradiology, ocular pathology and otorhinolaryngology. Fellows conduct clinical research projects resulting in over 10 publications annually and presentations at major national and international meetings. The odd-year fellowship is directed by Michael Kazim, MD and the even-year fellowship is directed by Gary Lelli, Jr., MD. Both fellowships are run identically and share the same preceptors, institutions and mission statement.
