Barry a. Weissman, OD, PhD Professor of Ophthalmology Member of the Jules Stein Eye Institute ReseaRch summaRy Corneal Contact Lenses and Corneal Oxygen Transport Dr. Weissman continues to study the optics and physiological tolerance of contact lens systems. He has specified a model that predicts optical changes that are induced when a hydrogel (soft) contact lens “wraps” onto a human cornea. He has also published an optical model of piggyback contact lens systems. Dr. Weissman investigates the severe complications occasionally encountered with contact lens wear, such as neovascularization, abrasion, and corneal infection, and he has published several recent large cohort series. He is interested in systems for oxygen supply to the corneas of contact lens wearers, and in the ability of contact lenses and emerging ophthalmic devices to transmit oxygen, and he developed a model to predict the tear layer oxygen under different contact lens designs, including piggyback lens systems. Keratoconus, a corneal disease treated with contact lenses, is another area of interest. Dr. Weissman was the principal investigator for the UCLA center of the National Eye Institutesponsored Collaborative Longitudinal Evaluation of Keratoconus (CLEK) study.

David s. Williams, PhD Jules and Doris Stein Research to Prevent Blindness Professor of Ophthalmology Professor of Neurobiology Member of the Jules Stein Eye Institute ReseaRch summaRy Cell Biology of the Retina and Inherited Retinal Disease Dr. Williams’ laboratory focuses on the cell biology of photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelium cells. His group is especially interested in proteins that func- tion in transport and compartmentalization within these cells. These proteins include those that underlie Usher syndrome. A translational area of his research involves gene therapy experiments aimed at preventing the blindness that ensues from Usher syndrome type 1B. 66 Faculty | Williams Public Service Scientific Advisory Board Member, Foundation Fighting Blindness Executive Board Member, Sustainability Council of New Zealand Committee Member, ARVO/International Society for Ocular Cell Biology Associate Editor, Visual Neuroscience Research Grants National Eye Institute: Retinal Cell Biology of Myosin VIIA, 7/1/09–6/30/14 National Eye Institute, ARRA Administrative Supplement: Kinesin in Photoreceptor Cells, 9/30/09–9/29/12 National Neurovision Research Institute, Foundation Fighting Blindness: Wynn-Gund Translational Research Acceleration Program Award: MY07A Gene Therapy for Usher 1B, 7/1/08–6/30/13 California Institute for Regenerative Medicine: Development of a Stem Cell-Based Transplantation Strategy for Treating Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Principal Investigator: Gabriel H.
