Background

Dr. Paulina Liberman, M.D, is an assistant professor of ophthalmology specializing in ocular immunology at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Medicine, located at its East Baltimore and Odenton facilities. Dr. Liberman has focused her clinical practice on the treatment and management of uveitis, employing advanced therapeutic methods to prevent and mitigate vision loss. Her approach combines rigorous clinical care with extensive research aimed at improving treatment protocols for ocular inflammation.

Before her appointment at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Liberman directed the uveitis division at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile’s Department of Ophthalmology, where she integrated clinical care with academic initiatives. She has extensive experience in cataract and refractive surgery, in which she aims to achieve optimal visual outcomes through precise surgical techniques and thorough preoperative planning. Her medical expertise also includes using immunosuppressive therapy to manage complex ocular diseases such as ocular pemphigoid, scleritis, peripheral ulcerative keratitis and uveitis.

Dr. Liberman's academic contributions include numerous peer-reviewed publications that focus on the diagnostics and treatment of uveitis. She serves as a reviewer for several notable journals in ophthalmology and is an active member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Uveitis Society.

Research Interests

Uveitis, immunosuppressive therapy, pemphigoid, scleritis and peripheral ulcerative keratitis.

Research Summary

My research focuses on improving treatments for uveitis and eye inflammation. I explore diagnostics and therapies to enhance vision and quality of life. My current research targets external inflammatory diseases such as pemphigoid, scleritis and peripheral ulcerative keratitis. I also study the global distribution of inflammatory eye disease across different populations.
