Summary

I am a practicing vitreoretinal specialist at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary where I serve as Vice Chairman and Director of Ophthalmic Research, as well as Surgeon Director and Chief of Retinal Services. I am Professor of Ophthalmology at the New York Medical College and Visiting Professor in Applied Optics at the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK. I serve on the Museum of Vision Committee of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, Executive Board of the American Society of Ocular Trauma and the editorial boards of Retinal Physician and Ophthalmic Lasers, Surgery and Imaging. My research interests include innovations in diagnostic retinal imaging and vitreoretinal surgical instrumentation along with new treatments for age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment and macular edema.
