Research Interests

Glaucoma

  • Pathophysiology of glaucoma
  • Glial cell activation
  • Cellular models of glaucoma, capable of manipulating biomechanical stretch and ischemia
  • Biomarkers and proteomics
  • Biomechanics of the lamina cribrosa of the optic nerve
  • Ocular hemodynamics
  • Clinical psychophysics and imaging (Structure and Function)
  • Aspects of spatial and temporal vision processing
  • Ocular chronobiology, particularly as it relates to glaucoma

Diabetic eye disease

  • Particular interest in diabetic macular edema and its natural history
  • Ocular hemodynamics in diabetes
  • Clinical psychophysics and imaging
