Areas of Interest

Research Summary

For many years, my research focused on the physiology and pathobiology of the retina. In recent years, use of a novel experimental approach to dry eye revealed the previously unappreciated role of ion channels in the pathophysiology of this common uncomfortable sight-impairing disorder.

Clinical Interests

Diagnosis and management of diabetes-related eye diseases; comprehensive ophthalmology
