This is one of those areas where advances in molecular biology, and understanding the pathophysiology of disease has directly led to a pharmacologic development, and intervention. That has had significant positive impact on a disease cause, and on the people who suffer from this disease.
Stephen McLeod, MD, is chair of ophthalmology at UCSF. He specializes in refractive surgery, cataracts and corneal disease. He has focused on the development of an intraocular lens to restore near vision to cataract surgery patients.
