Physicians, Optometrists, and Ophthalmologists from all over the nation refer their challenging and complex contact lens and dry eye patients to the Azman team. The doctor’s meticulous contact lens evaluation is unique and will not only determine if a patient’s eye are appropriate for contacts; but also will let the Azman team prescribe the correct type of lens that is the most compatible for the patient’s eyes and visual needs. The Timonium eye doctors prescribe all types of contact lenses including; bifocals, progressive, lenses for astigmatism, dry eyes, golf and other sports, color vision correction, theatric, post-lasik, and many other specialty lenses.

For those patients with dry eyes, a comprehensive dry eye evaluation will allow the doctor to determine the best treatment regimen for the patient’s specific condition. Not all dry eyes are the same, nor is the treatment. Only a comprehensive contact lens or dry eye evaluation will assure long term eye health, perfect all day eye sight, and all day comfort.


Founded in 1975 by two brothers, Dr. Thomas Azman and Dr. Irwin Azman, as a specialty practice limited to (specialty) contact lenses and dry eye treatment. Azman Eye Care Specialists has since been recognized both nationally and internationally for excellence, not just in the contact lens field, but also in dry eye care, keratoconus, laser vision correction- pre/post-operative care, and Lasik Complications.

Azman Eye Care has the expertise and specialized equipment to focus on eye care problems that other offices can’t address: helping dry-eye patients; treating patients who have trouble wearing contact lenses; those in need of bifocal lenses; or those who have been told they can’t wear contacts. Azman Eye Care provides the newest technology in laser vision correction, and more. The Azman Eye Care office maintains all the latest diagnostic instruments available. They have the latest instruments that can be found in only a few places in the country, including a wave front topographer, which can find slight irregularities of the cornea. The practice is also continually involved in FDA studies involving contact lenses, contact lens solutions, dry eye diagnosis and treatment. All of their specialized testing is to offer the highest quality eye care to each and every individual patient.

Many contact lens wearers believe that dry eyes are a normal part of wearing contact lenses and that nothing can be done about the problem. Symptoms like eye fatigue, red eyes, and slightly blurred vision are all symptoms that can be addressed. The problem is that many practices don’t know how to deal with these critical issues. That’s why patients come from Texas, Florida, Oregon, Colorado, New York, New Jersey and other states, and as far as India, South Africa, Australia and Israel for the expert care that they can’t find anywhere else.

The Azman Eye Care team of optometrists, surgeons, technicians, opticians, and staff work together to offer the most meticulous and personalized eye care available. They provide focused eye care to each individual patient.

Doctors listen carefully to patients and prescribe treatment plans for each person and situation. “The most common complaint we get from people about doctors they have seen in the past is about the quality of eye examination,” says Dr. Thomas Azman. “A meticulous, comprehensive eye exam is essential,” he says. “Not an eye-glass exam, but one specifically for contact lenses.” Dr. Benjamin Azman continues, “Most eye doctors see about 3, 000 patients a year, and because of that they have less time to do a thorough review of a patient’s medical records and history. As a result, they don’t always have a complete picture of the patient’s eye-care background.” In contrast, the doctors at Azman Eye Care limit their patient load to 1,200 patients per year, allowing them to gather all the facts pertinent to each patient’s visual requirements.

The eye doctors in Timonium, MD ask about symptoms that many people live with, thinking they are normal. They take the time to listen to their patient’s needs and symptoms, and then discuss and explain all the treatment options available. Many doctors also limit the type of lenses that they fit to patients. Azman Eye Care Specialists are different. They prescribe the best lens for the individual’s visual needs. As a result, their patients are comfortable and see clearly.

The difference between Azman Eye Care and other seemingly similar practices are clear. They have the state-of-the-art diagnostic tools necessary to help their patients, but use them with customized care, knowledge and compassion. The doctors at Azman Eye Care form a relationship with their patients , and that is a rarity today. They have received hundreds of testimonials from patients expressing their gratitude for resolving problems that other doctors could not. Dr. Thomas Azman says, “I am most proud that each and every patient leaves my office with the understanding that they know we care about their eyes and their well-being.” At Azman Eye Care Specialists that’s a level of commitment and service we offer that you won’t often find in today’s medical world.
