About

Jessica Shantha, MD, MSc, Clinician Scientist  

 Jessica Shantha is an Associate Professor and uveitis specialist in the Department of Ophthalmology at Emory University. She has completed both a medical retina (Retina Consultants of Hawaii) and uveitis (UCSF/Proctor Foundation) fellowships after completion of ophthalmology residency at Emory University. She focused her early career studying ophthalmic surveillance of viral hemorrhagic fevers, which has led to contributions in our understanding of the spectrum of ophthalmic findings of Ebola virus disease and other emerging infectious diseases. She has expanded these interests to the international surveillance of infectious uveitis and endophthalmitis using novel methodologies such as metagenomic deep sequencing to characterize pathogens causing uveitis and exploring the tears as a noninvasive diagnostic biomarker in uveitis. Her long-term research goals are to improve the diagnosis and management of uveitis with an emphasis on ocular fluid diagnostics, biomarker identification, and advancement of treatment paradigms in uveitis care.

Dr didn't seem very informed. She had not reviewed my history or images before hand. We looked at them together with no conclusion, only to schedule another appointment in 3 months
