Aaron Nagiel, MD, PhD

After completing fellowship at the Stein Eye Institute, I joined the faculty at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, which is affiliated with the USC Roski Eye Institute. My clinical practice is focused solely on the care of pediatric vitreoretinal conditions, which I have found to be immensely rewarding.

I also have a fledgling laboratory research program utilizing 3-dimensional human retinal organoids to understand retinal development and how it can be affected in early-onset retinal disorders. In addition, I work on clinical research projects with the USC residents and fellows. Of particular interest to me are endoscopic vitrectomy techniques.

Outside of work, I enjoy crossword puzzles, playing tennis, and spending time my wonderful wife Svetlana and three lovely daughters, Elina, Rita, and Mila.
