Summary
- James D. Brandt, MD, is Professor of Ophthalmology & Vision Science, Director of the Glaucoma Service and Vice-Chair for International Programs & New Technologies at the University of California, Davis in Sacramento, California.
After receiving a BS degree from Yale University and an MD degree from Harvard Medical School, he pursued a two-year post-doctoral research fellowship in glaucoma-related pharmacology and cell biology at the Schepens Eye Research Institute in Boston before his residency at the USC/LA County/Doheny Eye Institute. He completed a glaucoma fellowship at the Wills Eye Hospital before joining the UC Davis faculty in 1989.
Dr. Brandt’s clinical practice is limited to glaucoma, with a particular focus on infantile and pediatric glaucoma. Dr. Brandt is a frequent volunteer faculty member with ORBIS International, traveling worldwide to train glaucoma specialists in the management of pediatric glaucoma.
Dr. Brandt has served as the Principal Investigator of numerous clinical trials, including the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS). As an OHTS principal investigator, Dr. Brandt initiated the effort to measure central corneal thickness (CCT) as a potential risk factor for glaucoma and has continued to investigate the role of CCT in glaucoma diagnosis and pathogenesis.
