RESEARCH INTERESTS AND PATIENT CARE | |||
|
Steven E. Wilson, Professor and Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology, is Director of a laboratory investigating the function of growth factors and cytokines in controlling corneal wound healing, including healing that occurs following refractive surgical procedures. One of the goals of this research is to eventually allow the Refractive Surgeon to precisely control the effect of refractive surgical procedures such as excimer laser PRK. Dr. Wilson's laboratory is supported by the National Eye Institute.Dr. Wilson is also recognized as one of the leading experts on computerized corneal topography, the method used for planning refractive surgery and monitoring its results.The University of Washington Refractive Surgery Center provides cutting-edge technology, including the VisX Star Excimer Laser, Hansatome automated microkeratome, and computerized corneal topography. | |||
