EyeCan Season 6, Episode 9 - Clinical Excellence and Leadership in Ophthalmology with guest Dr. Devesh Varma

On this episode of EyeCan, we welcome Dr. Devesh Varma, Medical Director of Prism Eye Institute, Executive Vice President at Vision Group, glaucoma and complex anterior segment surgeon at Trillium Health Partners, and Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto. A fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist and founder of the Emerging Leaders Program for Ophthalmologists, Dr. Varma has cared for over 150,000 patients and performed more than 18,000 surgeries. In this episode of EyeCan, we explore what defines a leadership blueprint in ophthalmology—from clinical excellence and surgical innovation to program building, mentorship, academic influence, interdisciplinary collaboration, and ultimately, creating a lasting legacy in glaucoma care.

With your host, Dr. Hady Saheb.
