Bio

Jai Parekh, MD, MBA, FAAO, is a cataract & glaucoma surgeon & cornea specialist whose path to eye care started while studying at Boston University. Dr. Parekh followed up with a medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine, graduating cum laude, where the focus shifted to the detailed science of eye diseases and their treatment. Along the way, Dr. Parekh took part in research that contributes to better treatments for eye conditions. The result is a doctor who combines strong clinical knowledge with a real understanding of what patients need.

When it comes to Glaucoma Surgery and Ocular Surface Disease, Dr. Parekh brings both deep training and hands-on experience to every appointment. For glaucoma, early detection makes all the difference, and Dr. Parekh knows that well, which is why this condition gets special attention during every eye exam. When the eye's lens starts to cloud up, simple activities can begin to feel frustrating, and Dr. Parekh works with patients to determine the right time and approach for treatment. Beyond the core specialties, Dr. Parekh also handles Cataract Surgery, and Cornea Surgery, so patients do not have to look far for the care they need.

Speaking Gujarati, Hindi in addition to English is something that helps Dr. Parekh connect with a wider range of patients and make them feel welcome. A love of travel keeps Dr. Parekh curious and open-minded, qualities that carry over into patient care as well. Teaching is something Dr. Parekh takes seriously, because helping the next generation of eye care professionals matters just as much as helping patients. Patients can visit Dr. Parekh at EyeCare Consultants of NJ Woodland Park or EyeCare Consultants of NJ Edison, whichever location works best for them.
