The Shiley Eye Institute (SEI) and the Viterbi Family Department of Ophthalmology is pleased to announce that 21 faculty members have been recognized by the website Expertscape as either “Experts” or “World Experts” in one or more medical conditions.

This is a particularly noteworthy distinction, as Expertscape uses the data from the National Institute of Health’s PubMed database to identify and objectively rank physicians and researchers as experts based on topic, condition and diagnosis. Our faculty are ranked as experts in over 160 medical areas in ophthalmology, surgery, medicine, and research.

To be considered an Expertscape Expert, the faculty member needs to be ranked among the top 1% worldwide in research and publications in a specific medical topic, and to be recognized as a Expertscape World Expert requires the top 0.1% worldwide.

These are the 2021 Expertscape Experts and World Experts
