Sung Chul Park, MD, is Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, New York, NY. He is a clinician-scientist specializing in glaucoma, cataract, anterior segment disorders, minimally invasive glaucoma/cataract surgery, ocular imaging, perimetry and eye disease screening. He pioneered the new field of three-dimensional high-resolution imaging and analysis of the optic nerve head in human glaucoma, discovering a new set of pathogenic mechanisms of the development and progression of glaucoma. He also elucidated the risk factors and progression pattern of central visual field loss in glaucoma and revealed that patients with central visual field loss would benefit from visual field tests with centrally condensed test points, broadening ophthalmologists' understanding in this field and improving patient care.

He has more than 40 peer-reviewed articles mostly as the first or corresponding author in top ophthalmology journals including Ophthalmology, Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science (IOVS), and JAMA Ophthalmology, and has written 6 book chapters. He has given more than 150 original presentations and invited lectures in the U.S., Germany, Japan, Australia, France, Netherlands, Hong Kong, China, India, Turkey, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. He is an expert reviewer for 10 top peer-reviewed journals including Ophthalmology, IOVS, and JAMA Ophthalmology. He has been honored with more than 13 nationally or internationally recognized awards and scholarships, including the American Glaucoma Society Young Clinician Scientist Award, American Glaucoma Society MAPS Award, Empire Clinical Research Investigator Program Fellowship, Eye Bank of New York Research Grant, New York Glaucoma Research Institute Grants, Travel Grants at the Annual Meetings of Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) and at the World Glaucoma Congress, and Best Scientific Poster Award at the 2011 Annual Meeting of American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Dr. Park received his medical degree from Seoul National University, College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea. After his ophthalmology residency and glaucoma fellowship at the Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, Korea, he finished a clinical and a research glaucoma fellowship at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary with Dr. Robert Ritch. He joined the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary's faculty in 2011, where he built an Advanced Ocular Imaging Laboratory specializing in optic nerve and retina diseases. Dr. Park previously served as the Director of Glaucoma Clinic and the Director of Moise and Chella Safra Advanced Ocular Imaging Laboratory at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary. He is actively working as a member of 9 professional societies including World Glaucoma Association Associate Advisory Board, ARVO, American Academy of Ophthalmology, and American Glaucoma Society. He is also serving as an organizer of international academic meetings including the 2014 and 2016 World Ophthalmology Congress (April 2014, Tokyo, Japan; February 2016, Guadalajara, Mexico), the 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology Congress (April 2012, Busan, Republic of Korea; January 2013, Hyderabad, India; April 2014, Tokyo, Japan; April 2015, Guangzhou, China) and the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st Annual Glaucoma Foundation Optic Nerve Rescue and Restoration Think Tank (September 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, New York, NY).
