Specializations

Dr. Henry has published in medical journals, presented at national meetings, and has served as a clinical investigator in glaucoma research. In addition to medical therapy, he offers a variety of minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries, laser surgery, as well as trabeculectomy and tube shunts for his glaucoma patients.

In cataract surgery, he tailors his intraocular lens selection to each patient. He listens carefully to his patients in order to select the intraocular lens that will best meet their visual goals. Dr. Henry has a special interest in emerging intraocular lens technology and complex cataract surgery. He was the first surgeon in the United States to use the B-HEX pupil expander in complex cataract surgery.

He has lived and worked in Peru and Guatemala and is a certified Spanish interpreter.

Dr. Henry believes in treating his patients like he would treat his own family. He and his wife Megan have one son—Wesley—and a dog—Ari. His hobbies include golf, cycling, and theatre.
