  • The joy of giving sight

    While playing golf five years ago, Tom Harrington noticed he had difficulty seeing the golf flag. This was a first for him, so he scheduled a visit to see an ophthalmologist.

  • Advancing optic disc drusen research

    When Joyce Liao, MD, PhD, associate professor of ophthalmology and of neurology, came to Stanford in 2006, she began seeing patients with optic disc drusen (ODD), a condition that effects vision and the optic nerve, and was frustrated with how little she could offer them.

  • From mother to patient

    The year 2020 was momentous in many ways, including the heightened attention to issues of systemic injustice towards minorities that have long existed in our society.

  • Advancing clinical research in the age of COVID-19

    In clinical trials, both patients and faculty have to carefully balance potential benefits against potential risks in deciding who should be in a clinical trial—and this year the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford faced a new risk in that calculation.
