Additional Areas of Focus
Dr. Kashani has provided the following conditions as areas of focus. Please note that we may not have enough data to validate their experience in some of these conditions.
Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
The Johns Hopkins Hospital
Dr. Pradeep Ramulu is a glaucoma specialist and the director of the Wilmer Eye Institute glaucoma division. He specializes in caring for both routine and complex glaucomas, including glaucomas requiring repeat operations, glaucoma occurring in the context of corneal or retinal disease and glaucoma occurring in newborns and young children. The Sheila K. West Professor of Ophthalmology at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Dr. Ramulu grew up in suburban Chicago, and became interested in the eye during medical school, during which time he studied the genes and proteins of the eye with Dr. Jeremy Nathans. After pursuing a residency in ophthalmology and fellowship training in glaucoma, he joined Wilmer in 2006. Dr. Ramulu is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Glaucoma. His top areas of expertise are Glaucoma, Ocular Hypertension (OHT), Cataract, Iridectomy, and Cataract Removal.
The Johns Hopkins Hospital
Dr. Harry A. Quigley is the A. Edward Maumenee Professor of Ophthalmology and developed the Glaucoma Division at the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute. He was a founding member of the American Glaucoma Society, serving for 8 years as its Secretary and was elected to 5 year terms as chief executive officer of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) and editor-in-chief of Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science. He has published over 350 peer-reviewed articles, and his reports are the most cited in the ophthalmic literature over the last 30 years (Archives of Ophthalmology, 2007). His research has improved the early diagnosis of glaucoma and has developed instruments and techniques to identify glaucoma damage better. He has participated in pioneering studies of the epidemiology, morbidity and progression rate of glaucoma and other eye disease in American, African, Asian and Hispanic populations, serving as a consultant to the World Health Organization. In the laboratory, he has demonstrated successful gene therapy to protect retinal ganglion cells from experimental glaucoma and developed glaucoma models in monkeys, rats and mice. Dr. Quigley is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Glaucoma. His top areas of expertise are Glaucoma, Ocular Hypertension (OHT), Pigment-Dispersion Syndrome, Trabeculectomy, and Iridectomy.
Alan Robin is an Ophthalmologist in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr. Robin is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Glaucoma. His top areas of expertise are Glaucoma, Ocular Hypertension (OHT), Pigment-Dispersion Syndrome, Cataract Removal, and Trabeculectomy.
