    Collapse Overview
    Dr. Schwartz joined the UCSF Department of Ophthalmology in 1990. He is the Shirley Reich Professor of Ophthalmology and directs the Retina Division. He also serves as Director of the Retina Division at the San Francisco VA Medical Center.

    His research focuses on developing new therapies and diagnostics for eye disease.

    With Drs. Robert Grubbs and Julia Kornfield at Caltech, he co-invented the Light Adjustable Lens, an intraocular lens whose power can be adjusted non-invasively using light during the post-operative period. FDA Approved in 2017, it optimizes vision without spectacles for patients who have had cataract surgery.

    With Drs. Scott Fraser and Jeff Fingler, he co-invented OCT angiography, a non-invasive means of imaging the retinal and choroidal vasculature. OCT angiography is playing an increasingly important role in diagnosis and management of age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other common retinovascular diseases.

    Dr. Schwartz’s current efforts are directed at developing novel therapies for age-related macular degeneration and myopic macular degeneration.

    He is grateful for the research support he has received from the NIH, Research Prevent Blindness, the Pritzker Family Fund, the Hellman Foundation, the Larry L. Hillblom Foundation, and many of his patients.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication.
