About

Dr. Jerry Popham is a board-certified Oculoplastic Surgeon practicing in Denver, Colorado. Specializing in ophthalmology of the eyelids, orbit, and tear ducts, his practice identifies as 'Eye Restoration Specialists' and also focuses on Medical Aesthetics, offering both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. Dr. Popham's surgical philosophy prioritizes subtlety and natural-looking results, aiming for patients to appear more awake or simply well-rested, rather than obviously having had surgery. He notes that even subtle changes to the upper eyelids can significantly alter the appearance of the entire face. His blepharoplasty technique often incorporates fat transposition to achieve a natural eyelid contour and prevent hollowing. Dr. Popham also utilizes deep erbium laser skin resurfacing, frequently combined with procedures like brow lifts and eyelid lifts, to enhance overall aesthetic outcomes by improving skin quality. He believes investing in one's face is a form of self-care and is motivated by the positive reactions of his patients.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$23

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Jerry Popham received $23 across 1 payment in 2025. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Amgen Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”

What areas of care does Dr. Jerry Popham cater to?
Dr. Popham specializes in oculoplastic surgery, a subspecialty of ophthalmology focusing on the eyelids, orbit (eye socket), and tear ducts. He performs both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures in these areas, including eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). He also practices comprehensive ophthalmology. The practice identifies itself as 'Eye Restoration Specialists' and also focuses on Medical Aesthetics. Upper eyelid lifts performed by Dr. Popham aim to make patients appear more awake, with a typical aesthetic outcome being that the patient looks like themselves, just less tired. His upper eyelid surgery results are often so natural that patients appear simply well-rested, rather than obviously having had surgery. His blepharoplasty technique, particularly when incorporating fat transposition, is designed to achieve a natural eyelid contour and prevent hollowing. Dr. Popham notes that even subtle changes to the upper eyelids can significantly alter the appearance of the entire face. He utilizes deep erbium laser skin resurfacing, often combined with procedures like brow lifts, eyelid lifts, and lower blepharoplasty, to significantly enhance overall aesthetic outcomes by improving skin quality. Lower eyelid surgery is performed to address concerns such as under-eye bags and can significantly improve the appearance of looking tired. While specializing in Oculoplastics, the practice's knowledge and expertise extend beyond this subspecialty, encompassing a multitude of facial treatment therapies.
