Close Your Eyes.

Imagine if darkness was all you "saw" each day.

At Azar Eye Institute, protecting the health of your eyes is our only mission, every day.


From annual eye exams to glaucoma screenings, cataract surgery to LASIK and more, we strive to bring to you the most comprehensive eye health care available.


AEI was established in 1997 by Dr. Alex Azar, one of the most respected eye surgeons in Maryland. For more than a decade, Dr. Azar and his partner, renowned eye surgeon Dr. Peter Filipov, have assembled a team of highly skilled, compassionate and dedicated eye care specialists. No one is ever turned away for care; every patient is treated with respect.


The approach was so successful that in 2001, AEI opened the Azar Surgery Center (ASC) to provide surgical options that had long been available only by “going over the bridge” to Western Maryland.
