He continues to be involved in research development with Retina Associates. This adds to his long-standing research experience as in 1985, he turned his attention entirely to macular and retinal vascular disease, including diabetic retinopathy.
His research includes the initial studies in argon vitreoretinal endophotocoagulation, the original work in evaluating zinc for age-related macular degeneration, and the more recent work in differential membrane filtration for non-exudative macular degeneration.
Each of these studies and his current work continue to benefit the medical community.
He is a charter member of the Macula Society, the American Board of Ophthalmology and the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology.
