allan e. Kreiger, mD Professor of Ophthalmology Emeritus (Active Recall) Founding Chief of the Retina Division Member of the Jules Stein Eye Institute ReseaRch summaRy Retinal Disease and Vitreoretinal Surgery Dr. Kreiger is interested in the expanding field of vitreoretinal surgery. He has worked to clarify the indications for improved outcomes of operations on complex forms of vitreous and retinal diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, complicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and ocular trauma. He has designed numerous surgical instruments and has developed a wide array of surgical techniques. He is particularly interested in the surgical incisions made in the pars plana during vitrectomy and has reported several basic science and clinical investigations that define normal healing as well as the complications that can occur when healing is abnormal. His most recent work examined the epidemiology of proliferative vitreoretinopathy, the most complex form of retinal detachment. In this work, the risk of visual loss in the fellow eye was surveyed and found to be much higher than previously suspected. Public Service Reviewer for many scientific journals Faculty | Kreiger 49
simon K. Law, mD, PharmD Associate Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology Member of the Jules Stein Eye Institute ReseaRch summaRy Optic Disc Evaluation Dr. Law’s principal research interest focuses on the structural appearance of the optic disc in different ocular diseases, including patients with high myopia. Assessment of optic disc size is an important component of the diagnostic evaluation for glaucoma. Patients with high myopia are at greater risk of developing glaucoma, and they also have an atypical optic disc that makes diagnosis difficult. The purpose of Dr. Law’s research is to characterize the appearance of the optic disc in eyes with high myopia and to identify the related risk factors for development of glaucoma. Glaucoma Tube shunt Procedure To prevent intraocular pressure spikes after an Ahmed valve or tube shunt procedure for glaucoma, Dr. Law is evaluating the effect of using antiglaucoma medications at different times following surgery. Patients are randomized to receive antiglaucoma medications either at an early phase or at the standard time following the surgical procedure. acupuncture and Glaucoma Dr. Law is conducting a prospective study to evaluate the effect of acupuncture in glaucoma. Acupuncture is a popular alternative medicine based on traditional Eastern medical theory. Its effect on glaucoma has not been objectively and scientifically studied. 50 Faculty | Law Public Service Expert Reviewer, Medical Board of California Pharmacy Editor, eMedicine online Ophthalmology Journal Member of the Committee on Aging, American Academy of Ophthalmology Subcommittee Member, American Academy of Ophthalmology Basic and Clinical Science Course Reviewer for many scientific journals Honors 2011 Achievement Award, American Academy of Ophthalmology
