Over the last two decades, she has contributed immensely to the Department while building a first-rate clinical and surgical practice at Mass. Eye and Ear. A world-class corneal scientist, surgeon and scholar, Kathy has led research and clinical trials on Fuchs’ dystrophy and conjunctival melanoma, played a key role in the implantable miniature telescope, and improved the surgical success of our KPro efforts.
