Role of Structural and Functional<br />
Measurements for Detection of<br />
Glaucoma and Its Progression<br />
Dr. Nouri-Mahdavi’s research is focused on improving<br />
methods to detect early glaucoma and glaucoma<br />
progression with spectral-domain optical coherence<br />
tomography (SD-OCT) and various perimetry techniques.<br />
More specifically, he is interested in detection<br />
of glaucoma progression in patients with advanced<br />
disease. SD-OCT has revolutionized glaucoma imaging.<br />
Dr. Nouri-Mahdavi is currently exploring the role of<br />
macular imaging for detection of glaucoma progression.<br />
He is also interested in exploring the structure-function<br />
relationships in eyes with angle-closure glaucoma<br />
versus eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma. Three<br />
cross-sectional and longitudinal SD-OCT imaging<br />
studies enrolling open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma<br />
patients along with normal control subjects are<br />
ongoing in the Glaucoma Division.<br />
Another area of research and clinical interest for<br />
Dr. Nouri-Mahdavi is surgical outcomes in glaucoma<br />
and newer surgical techniques. The effect of cataract<br />
surgery on intraocular pressure control in advanced<br />
glaucoma patients is of significant interest to general<br />
ophthalmologists and glaucoma specialists alike and<br />
will soon be the focus of an upcoming investigation by<br />
the research team in the Glaucoma Division.<br />
