About Dr. Hanif

Meet Dr. Hanif

Dr. Adam Hanif specializes in the medical and surgical management of retinal diseases. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, he ventured to Emory University for his undergraduate studies in chemistry, graduating Phi Beta Kappa. He remained at Emory for medical school, where he graduated with honors and was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society by his peers.

Dr. Hanif has a particular interest in using technology to individualize care for patients with conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. He has published numerous articles and book chapters spanning retinal disease, ophthalmic imaging, and artificial intelligence, and has served as an investigator on multiple clinical trials for macular degeneration, uveitis, and inherited retinal conditions. He is a board-certified ophthalmologist and an active member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Society of Retina Specialists, and The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology.
