Ongoing research projects include participation as an investigator in the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study; a population-based study of the prevalence of glaucoma and AMD in Thessaloniki, Greece; geographic variation in diagnostic procedures and clinical outcomes among patients with eye diseases in the Medicare population and the possible association between hip fractures from falls and impaired vision from glaucoma, cataracts and AMD.
