His role as a clinician and educator has steadily grown over the decade plus since joining the practice.

He has authored or co-authored over a dozen papers or presentations at national meetings, with a particular interest in retinopathy of prematurity. Despite filling multiple academic and administrative roles, his role as a clinician for patients in need will remain the most important in his professional life.
Dr. Barry completed a fellowship in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus surgery at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and University of Pennsylvania. This hospital is routinely ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the nation. It provided him an opportunity to focus on the surgical and medical care of children with a wide variety of eye disorders, including strabismus (misaligned eyes), amblyopia (“lazy eye”), blocked tear duct, and retinopathy of prematurity. He also performs strabismus surgery on adults.
Dr. Barry is a native of the Albany, NY area and considers himself very lucky to have the opportunity to provide compassionate eye care to children and adults with strabismus in his hometown. He attended the University at Buffalo for both undergraduate and medical school. In medical school, he served as the chapter president of the American Medical Association. He completed ophthalmology residency at Albany Medical College, where he received awards for excellence in research and clinical ability. In his free time, Dr. Barry enjoys spending time with his family, hiking, and playing guitar.

Dr. Barry was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough throughout the entire process. He explained the procedure clearly, answered our questions without rushing, and made us feel confident in the plan of care. His surgical skill and attention to detail were evident, and the entire experience was handled with a high level of competence and professionalism. I would highly recommend Dr. Barry to anyone needing this procedure.
Dr Barry was excellent and Dave the PA is great with special needs kids !
Dr Barry was very mindful of my granddaughter and really made her feel relaxed and calm. He explained every step of the exam and then offered several treatment plan. The office ppl were all happy and gracious.
As always a great experience! Dr. Barry performed my daughter's laser eye surgery when she was only 2 weeks old but also 12 weeks early! She was so tiny (only 2 lbs) and I was so scared! He assured me then that she would be fine and that he would take great care of her. And that he has, for almost 10 yrs now. You rock Dr. Barry and we love and appreciate you and your extravagant gift to help our precious children!
My son has special needs and Dr. Barry and his staff have always been patient and compassionate. There is no one I trust more with his eye care.
He's the best and all the coworkers,residents..

Dr. Barry is patient, informative and so kind. Despite my son being fearful and crying, Dr. Barry calmly completed the exam and reassured him throughout the process!
Dr. Barry made the appointment so easy and painless for my little one! I never know how doctor appointments will go for my toddler, new office, new people, tests, etc. and Dr. Barry was so kind, patient and made it so fun for my little guy. My toddler left smiling and not wanting to leave! He explained everything in great detail to us and made us feel comfortable and understood. Thank you so much.
Thorough evaluation. Clear explanations and courteous staff. Thank you!
