Summary

Sung Chul (Sean) Park, MD, is an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology, Director of Glaucoma Research and Co-Director of Glaucoma Fellowship Program at the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, New York, NY. He is a clinician-scientist specializing in glaucoma, cataract, anterior segment disorders, minimally invasive glaucoma/cataract surgery, ocular imaging and perimetry.
Dr. Park has more than 70 peer-reviewed articles mostly as the first or corresponding author in top ophthalmology journals including Ophthalmology, Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science (IOVS), and JAMA Ophthalmology, and has written 6 book chapters. He has given more than 220 original presentations and invited lectures in the U.S., Germany, Japan, Australia, France, Netherlands, Hong Kong, China, India, Turkey, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. He serves as a member of Editorial Board of Journal of Glaucoma and is an expert reviewer for 10 top peer-reviewed journals including Ophthalmology, IOVS, and JAMA Ophthalmology. He is also a member of World Glaucoma Association Global Consensus Meetings. He has been honored with more than 14 nationally or internationally recognized awards and scholarships, including the American Academy of Ophthalmology Achievement Award, American Glaucoma Society Young Clinician Scientist Award, American Glaucoma Society MAPS Award, Empire Clinical Research Investigator Program Fellowship, Eye Bank of New York Research Grant and New York Glaucoma Research Institute Grants.
He pioneered the new field of three-dimensional high-resolution imaging and analysis of the optic nerve head and aqueous outflow pathway in human glaucoma and other optic nerve diseases, discovering a new set of pathogenic mechanisms. He also elucidated the risk factors and progression pattern of central visual field loss in glaucoma and revealed that patients with central visual field loss would benefit from visual field tests with centrally condensed test points.
