Retina and Glaucoma
Studies by departmental faculty in the area of ocular imaging are also focusing on retinal disease and glaucoma. The department is at the forefront of ocular blood flow research headed by Dr. Teresa Brevetti. Dr. Jeffrey Freedman has conducted a series of studies to identify the most effective anti-fibrosis medications to improve outcomes following corneal implant surgery, as well as conducting work that attempts to define factors contributing to the development of glaucoma by individuals who have undergone corneal transplantation. Dr. Shrier, our Director of retinal Services, is participating in the Accord National Diabetic Eye Study.
