Mary Lynch, MD, Receives 2019 American Glaucoma Society Award

March 21, 2019 | (Atlanta GA) -- The American Glaucoma Society has named Emory Eye Center ophthalmologist Mary G. Lynch, MD, as the 2019 recipient of the society’s prestigious Innovator Award. The award is given to one physician each year in recognition of his or her contributions to the field of glaucoma. She is the first woman to receive this award. During her career, Lynch’s research has centered on innovative ways to deal with difficult problems in glaucoma. She wrote the first paper describing central nervous system side effects from beta-blocker eye drops. Her observations led her to work on the development of dropper tips that could produce smaller eye drops; this work has been incorporated into current dropper tip designs. She also wrote the first paper describing the surgical treatment of pseudophakic malignant glaucoma: the creation of unicameral eye that still is the basic principal of malignant glaucoma treatment.
