About
I am a physician-scientist focused on healthcare delivery specifically for the anterior segment of the eye. My career goal is to dramatically extend high-quality, affordable eye care to underserved and under-represented communities nationally and globally. My research focuses on novel ophthalmic technologies and eHealth clinical programs – particularly disease-monitoring tools with low acquisition and delivery costs funded by the National Eye Institute and other sources. My research goal is to create tools to support clinicians decision making. I am the director of the Technology Eye Care Services program at the Veterans Affairs Ann Arbor Medical Center I serves on American Academy of Ophthalmology’s groups including its Health Policy committee and lead its Task Force on Eye Care and Community Health Centers. I am on The Cornea Society board. I collaborate with national and international leaders in telemedicine, cornea, health sciences, and engineering, including close collaboration with Aravind Eye Hospitals in India.
