BUCK EYE OPHTHALMOLOGY OHIO STATE www.eye.osu.edu Spring 2009 NEW LOOK NEW LOCATION SAME EXCELLENCE IN EYE CARE The Havener Eye Institute is thrilled to announce the opening of our newest location just south of The Ohio State University Medical Center campus. In June 2009, after over 30 years in the OSU Clinic Building, we will be moving to 915 Olentangy River Road. As a regional center for vision care in the Midwest, the Institute serves more than 50,000 patients a year who seek solutions to a compelling array of eye diseases and conditions. With its unique proximity to one of the country’s most comprehensive medical centers, the physicians and staff of the The Ohio State University Havener Eye Institute 915 Olentangy River Rd Columbus, Ohio 43212 www.eye.osu.edu Havener Institute are able to benefit from unique collaborations with colleagues to rapidly translate new research findings to improve treatment options for patients. Since its formation in 1929, the Department of Ophthalmology has moved many times to accommodate the increasing demand for superior eye care. When Dr. William Havener first came to Ohio State, the eye clinic consisted of a large central room for interviewing and refracting patients, a treatment room, a small classroom, and a visual field room. His vision was for patients and students to have access to the latest and best care available. He would be so excited to see how far we have come. With over 28,000 square feet, patient exam facilities equipped with innovative technology, and a state-of-the-art surgery center, we will be able to meet the needs of patients now and in the future. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Havener Eye Institute, Department of Ophthalmology. In conjunction with this historic milestone, we will have a Grand Opening Celebration in the fall to preview our new building.

Blind Band Gets Invite to 2010 Rose Bowl Faculty & Staff help raise money in support Cheers erupted at the Ohio State School for the Blind, when Gary DiSano, the Rose Parade’s president, invited the school’s marching band to join the 2010 Rose Parade. The Rose Parade, a New Year’s Day tradition, which features flowersonly floats and takes place in Pasadena, CA, has never hosted a blind marching band. Right now, there are 17 band members, plus about as many sighted marching assistants who help them stay in formation. With only a year to prepare, the band needed to raise money for the cross-country trip. This inspirational story was brought to the attention of employees in the Havener Eye Institute, by Mary Jayne Fox, the De- partment’s Human Resources Manager. “We are drawn close to their cause,” said Fox. “We share the mission and values of the School for the Blind and wanted to help pay for this trip that was so important for these kids.” Together employees were able to raise over $1500, enough to pay all of the expenses for one student. Also inspired by their story was Mary Jayne’s longtime friend, Carol Gorman, who donated an additional $1500 toward the cause. According to the Rose Parade music committee chairwoman, Stacy Houser, “A blind marching band is such an incredibly unique thing. We’re hoping it’ll be an inspiration throughout the country.” The trip will cost approximately $1,500 per student, and $120,000 total for the leaders, parents, and guides. If you are interesting in contributing, please contact Mary Jayne Fox at (614) 293-0791. Benefactor Recognition Wall Honoring the rich legacy of support A beautiful, new location allows for so many new possibilities. We want to take this opportunity to recognize all of our generous benefactors. The Benefactor Recognition Wall will be proudly displayed in the lobby of our new location. In addition, information on upcoming events and new developments will also be on display. The Recognition Wall will be 8 feet tall and over 9½ feet wide. It will be a major focal point for our new space. The design brings together the modern, state-of-the-art facilities with the strong tradition built by over 80 years of excellence in ophthalmology. Come see the rich legacy of the many generous supporters of the Havener Eye Institute.

The Directory will be organized by last name, with a section by year for cross-referencing. We scanned the many photos hanging on the “hallowed” hallways of the department showing alumni as they were their graduating year. This will not only make it so our past residents can remain “forever young”, but will also make them easier to recognize “as they were”. “Excellence in education and clinical training second to none,” has always been the goal of the ophthalmology residency program at the Department of Ophthalmology. From the very beginning, our faculty have committed to excellence in clinical training of ophthalmology residents. This tradition of excellence has afforded the Department with alumni that are some of the finest ophthalmologists in the country. We are proud to have been a part of their training and this directory reflects that pride. The development of the Alumni Directory coincides nicely with the move to our new location. A Grand Opening Celebration is being planned for the Fall. All alumni are invited to this special viewing of our new facility. We hope that everyone will take this opportunity to return to their roots. If you would like more information about the Alumni Directory you can contact (614)293-8760. 52nd Annual Postgraduate Symposium Glaucoma: Tried and True and New The 52nd Annual Postgraduate Symposium in Ophthalmology/32nd Annual Midwest Glaucoma Symposium, “Glaucoma: Tried and True and New” was held February 27 & 28, 2009 at the Hilton Columbus at Easton.

To this end, we have created 20/20 Seminars, a series of complimentary continuing education events. On April 22, 2009 the first of these, “Everyday Retina”, was held at our Dublin location. Future events will cover a variety of topics and for continuing edu- cation credit. We hope that the success of these educational events will continue to foster the community spirit that is an important part of the Havener Eye Institute’s Mission. If you are an ophthalmologist or optometrist that would like to be added to our “20/20 Seminars” mailing list, contact us at (614) 293-8760 or [email protected]. 5 Establishing a Tradition in Ophthalmology Events Research New Retina Clinical Trial AAO Alumni Reception The Retina Division, under the direction of John Christoforidis, M.D. as Principal Investigator (PI), is embarking on a new study sponsored by Genentech Pharmaceuticals. HARBOR, a phase III clinical trial, will study the safety and efficacy of high dose injections of the drug Lucentis®(Ranibizumab) in patients with Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). This study was initiated because patients with AMD have shown significant improvement when taking small dose injections of Lucentis®. All qualified patients will receive Lucentis® at no cost. For more information on this study or patient eligibility, contact Kathryne McKinney at (614) 652-2603 or Jill Salerno at (614) 652-2620. Autumn is undoubtably a time for reflection as leaves fade and summer’s warmth becomes a memory. Every Fall, in the spirit of the season, we host an annual alumni reception at the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO). Celebrating the rich tradition, we welcome all of the alumni that the Department has trained over the years. This year’s Alumni Reception was held at one of Atlanta’s premier hotels, the Westin Peachtree. This landmark hotel, that towers over the city skyline, was the perfect setting for our annual reception that brings together so many alumni. We were happy that so many alumni were able to attend this special event and look forward to seeing even more alumni in San Francisco, CA on October 24, 2009.

Genentech’s HARBOR Study Genzyme Trial Fabry Disease Research Grant Awarded 6 Fabry disease, an x-linked recessive lysosomal storage disease (LSD), is commonly recognized as a cause of kidney failure in involved men and, more recently, recognized in women, too. Women are involved in significant numbers and develop complications, just as in men, of vascular disease. This manifests as unexpected strokes and heart attack in young adults. We have morphologic evidence that storage-endotheliopathy induced microvascular disease is the cause of cardiopathy and of cryptogenic strokes, and that storage endotheliopathy starts in early life, probably before birth. As a result of their preliminary research, Drs. Deborah M. Grzybowski, Martin Lubow, and Alan D. Letson have been awarded a research grant from Genzyme Corporation to further study ocular vascular changes in Fabry disease. They will be using NeuroRetinal Fluorescein Angiography to demonstrate potential capillary perfusion defects in the optic nerve head and retinal quadrants. Neuroretinal capillary perfusion abnormalities in Fabry disease will be predictive of equivalent vascular disease in kidney, heart, brain and other organs, and whether it will be responsive to change induced by enzyme replacement therapy treatment. Based on our earlier experience with other endotheliopathies such as Susac’s Syndrome and type I diabetes mellitus, we anticipate that vascular pathology may be manifested earlier and more subtly than previously reported. Using epidemiologic and genetic tools we will find more patients than previously known or expected. The goal is to potentially identify an opportunity for earlier diagnosis, a tool for monitoring response to enzyme replacement therapy, and an improved prognosis. Future work includes correlating the neuroretinal capillary changes with endocardial capillary changes as seen by cardiac MRI. Dr. Subha Raman in the Cardiology Division at OSU is collaborating on this portion of the study.

Top Right: Top runner for male and female categories Thomas Mauger, M.D., and Marie Burleson Bottom: The race begins On an unusually beautiful, sunny November morning, runners lined up along the south side of the Ohio Stadium for the first annual Eye Run/Walk for Sight. It was the perfect day for the five-mile run along the Olentangy Running Trails. Those walking took the time to cheer the runners on before beginning a one-mile tour through the heart of campus led by Brutus Buckeye. Wildly, colorful autumn leaves, viewed against a backdrop of architecturally stunning historic landmarks, are a part of what makes OSU Campus a breathtaking place to visit. However, the purpose of the day was not just exhilarating competition or beautiful views. All of the participants were gathered in support of the International Ophthalmology Missions, which bring much needed ophthalmic care to developing countries like Ghana and Nicaragua. Proceeds from the Eye Run/Walk for Sight go toward sending ophthalmology residents and fellows to help this worthy cause.
