Clinical Interests:
Cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation, multifocal and Toric intraocular lenses, treatment of conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), laser treatments

Research Interests:
I am interested in a medical treatment alternative for conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia.  Along with Dr. Carol Karp, I have developed a successful medical treatment regimen for these patients. I would like to continue using our medical treatment regimen and further establish the optimum dosing and frequency for eradicating this disease.
