Dr. Quigley is the A. Edward Maumenee Professor of Ophthalmology and is director of both the Glaucoma Service and the Dana Center for Preventive Ophthalmology at the Wilmer Institute. He was a founding member of the American Glaucoma Society and served as its Secretary for 8 years. He was elected chief executive officer of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology and was elected Editor-in-chief of the most prestigious journal, Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science.

He graduated with Honors from Harvard College and was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha honor fraternity at Johns Hopkins Medical School. His ophthalmology residency was at the Wilmer Institute and his fellowship at the Bascom Palmer Institute, Miami. He has published 300 scientific articles on glaucoma and his research awards have come from the European Society of Ophthalmology (the Prix Jules Francois), the Chicago Ophthalmological Society (for teaching), the Ophthalmological Society of Scotland (the Mackenzie Medal), the Australian Society of Ophthalmology (the Gregg Medal), the Friedenwald Prize for lifetime research accomplishment by the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO, 2005), and the Doyne Medal from the Oxford Ophthalmological Congress (2005)

Dr. Quigley has trained more than 30 clinician--scientists in glaucoma who practice around the world. His research work has improved the early diagnosis of glaucoma, has developed instruments and techniques to identify glaucoma damage better, and he is a recognized leader in research into glaucoma epidemiology worldwide. He was one of the first to report long-term success with laser treatment of angle-closure glaucoma and his suturing technique for glaucoma surgery has been widely adopted. With his colleague Donald Zack, he is presently studying treatments to make the eyes of those with glaucoma less susceptible to damage through the approach called neuroprotection, including the first gene therapy success in preventing glaucoma damage in animals.
