A little-known or interesting thing about you...

I am a very romantic person! It’s true, despite my “bad boy” image.

If you weren’t an ophthalmologist…

I would be a human rights lawyer, protecting and advocating for those treated unfairly.

A prediction for your field…

In glaucoma, we will continue to see micro-invasive interventions and drug delivery therapies grow, with gene therapy and neuroprotection on the horizon.
