Research Interests

Public Health Aspects of Glaucoma
Models have been constructed by our group to enumerate the worldwide prevalence of glaucoma and its morbidity. The rate of progression of disease has been estimated from clinic-based and population-based prevalence data. How glaucoma might be identified and treated in developed and developing countries is being investigated.

Clinical Research in Glaucoma
Imaging techniques that are critical to diagnosis and followup have been developed and tested. Patient cooperation with glaucoma therapy has been found to be inadequate and interventions to improve it are being studied.

Pathogenesis of Glaucoma Damage
Laboratory studies of experimental mouse and rat models of glaucoma and other optic nerve lesions are being used to test the main pathways to retinal ganglion cell death in glaucoma. Gene therapy experiments using viral vectors have had success in reducing ganglion cell death.

Progenitor Cell Replacement of Neurons
Ciliary-derived progenitor cells are being produced to test the hypothesis that neuronal replacement is feasible in retinas depleted of ganglion cells.
