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 />
