Discussing ophthalmology
during off-hours?
The Prices said that it is often dif-
ficult to set work aside when you
work with your spouse, but they
try to schedule time away from the
office and enjoy taking their family
canoeing in the Canadian Quetico
National Park. "We also travel to
interesting locations for eye meet-
ings," they said.
"We are truly blessed to be able
to work together doing things we
enjoy and that help people local-
ly and internationally," they said.
"More importantly, we are blessed
with a loving family." EW

recombinant proteins for inherited
eye conditions, and biologics with
regenerative potential. "Donations
from cornea transplant recipients
and the funding we receive from
industry-sponsored studies helps
support our cornea transplant
work," they said.
When deciding which topics
to pursue, they look for problems
that need a solution and design and
conduct studies to address that prob-
lem, often without any government
or corporate funding. "We have
developed the largest database on
corneal transplants in the Western
Hemisphere," they said.
By tracking the outcomes of
thousands of transplants, they
determined that the new DMEK
transplants have a much lower rate
of rejection than previous DSEK
or PK transplants. "This led us to
design studies to investigate how far
we could reduce steroid dosing with-
out increasing transplant rejection."
They also identified previous glau-
coma surgery as the most significant
risk factor for transplant failure,
so they have been doing further
studies to determine why that is and
what can be done to improve graft
survival in these eyes. "We tag team
our roles for designing, vetting, and
setting up studies based on each of
our areas of expertise."
