Research and Development

Development of new technology has made eye surgery more safe and predictable, and dramatically decreased the recovery time from ocular surgery. Ongoing research activity ensures that our patients receive state of the art eye care. Dr. Price founded the Cornea Research Foundation of America, which houses the largest ongoing database for cornea transplantation in the Western Hemisphere.

Current activities include implantation of special plastic rings to stabilize intraocular lens implants in damaged eyes, artificial irises for traumatized eyes, glaucoma devices, and medical therapy for dry eyes. We are also investigating new techniques for surgically correcting keratoconus with IntacsTM  intracorneal ring segments, as well as lamellar transplants of the cornea to improve safety and predictability.
