RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

 

Homocystinuria: Diagnostic tests, biochemistry, clinical features, and therapy (with Barber GW, Biochemistry Section, Wills Eye Hospital Research Institute) discovered first case (reported after Carson's report), first characterized and published first report regarding clinical findings, platelet aggregation abnormalities, specific screening test, incidence of disease in United States and effect of pyridoxine on disease.

 

Research activities have centered around the characterization and natural history of the cardinal manifestations of glaucoma: the history, the anterior chamber angle, the visual field and the optic nerve. These are studied using the facilities of the William and Anna Goldberg Glaucoma Service and Research Laboratories and the Glaucoma Research Clinic (GRC). Personnel currently include three full time clinical fellows, five full-time research fellows, two full-time clinical coordinators, the Glaucoma Research Center coordinator, and the Glaucoma Research Center Director and Medical Board.

 

Selective Active Projects Include:

  • Normal Development of the Anterior Chamber Angle
  • Characterization of the Normal Optic Nerve Head
  • Relation Between Blood Flow of the Retina, Optic Nerve, and Visual Loss
  • Effect of Various Drugs on Intraocular Pressure New Surgical Techniques
  • Effect of Vitamin Deficiencies on Visual Loss in Glaucoma
  • Histopathology of Trabeculectomy Meshwork and the Effect of Drugs and Corticosteroids on Morphology
  • Sociological Considerations Important in the Treatment of the Patient with Glaucoma
  • Development of New Psychophysical Tests to Detect Glaucoma in its Early Stages
  • Development of Glaucoma Service Research Laboratory (Computer Linked Research Group)
  • Visco-Elastic Characteristic of the Eye (with Hargens CW of the Franklin Institute Research Laboratories)
  • Effect of Glaucoma on Quality of Life
  • Outcome Criteria for Treatment of Glaucoma
  • Research on the Terminology of Glaucoma and its Consequences
  • Development of Staging Systems for History, Anterior Chamber Angle, Visual Field and Optic Disc in Glaucoma
  • The Effects of Visual Loss on the Ability to Perform the Acts of Daily Living
  • Compliance and Non-compliance
  • Ethical Principles
