Iezzi.Raymond@mayo.edu Clinical Profile

SUMMARY

Raymond Iezzi Jr., M.D., conducts preclinical and clinical translational trials in several ophthalmology-related areas.

Dr. Iezzi's clinical interests include retinal degenerative diseases as well as all aspects of vitreoretinal surgery, with a special interest in complex retinal detachment repair associated with diabetes, trauma and proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

Focus areas

  • Nanoparticle-based intraocular drug delivery
  • Nanocomposite-based biosensors
  • Pharmacologic approaches to retinal neuroprotection
  • Retinal prosthesis development
  • Physiology

Significance to patient care

Dr. Iezzi's research will benefit patient care by introducing new methods of slowing retinal degeneration in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, age-related macular degeneration, retinal detachment and complex trauma. His work in the field of retinal prosthesis will eventually lead to methods for restoring vision in patients with advanced retinal degeneration.
