Stuart James McKinnon
Associate Professor of Ophthalmology

Stuart J. McKinnon, MD, PhD, specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma and cataract. His areas of expertise include open and closed angle glaucomas, neovascular and other secondary glaucomas, and juvenile glaucoma. He is experienced in all forms of anterior segment procedures including laser therapy and filtering surgeries for glaucoma, as well as cataract surgery. He is integrally involved in the teaching of medical students, residents, and fellows. McKinnon's research activities include NIH-sponsored exploration of the basic mechanisms of retinal cell death in glaucoma. Other research areas include neuroprotective glaucoma therapies, non-invasive imaging of glaucoma damage, and relationships between glaucoma and other chronic neurodegenerations such as Alzheimer's disease.
