About Me
Dr. Glenn Ostriker is a board-certified ophthalmologist who specializes in cataract surgery. He serves as Director of Ophthalmology at Stamford Hospital.
Dr. Ostriker has been a pioneer in cataract surgery and is among the first surgeons in the U.S. to perform capsulorhexis.

He was also the first ophthalmologist in Connecticut to perform sutureless cataract surgery, using no stitches to close the incision.
Dr. Ostriker has helped shape the future of medicine as a clinical associate professor at New York University School of Medicine. He teaches residents and practicing ophthalmologists how to perform advanced cataract surgery techniques.

He completed his MD, residency training in Ophthalmology, and fellowship in Neurophysiology at the New York University School of Medicine.
