On this episode of EyeCan, we are talking about Tele-ophthalmology with our guest, Dr. David Maberley. After completing his residency at the University of Toronto, Dr. Maberley undertook a retina fellowship at Queen’s University, where he also completed a Masters of Science in Community Health and Epidemiology. Following his training in Kingston, he studied macular disease and advanced retinal surgical techniques at Columbia University and the Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital in New York City.

Dr. Maberley performs research in population health and the medical and surgical management of diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and high myopia. Recent undertakings include the establishment of the Collaboration in the Epidemiology of Ocular Disease (CEPOD – a big data pharmacoepidemiology research group that works collaboratively with industry and government) and a co-leadership role with the Diabetic Retinopathy Goal Group of Diabetes Action Canada (a CIHR SPOR initiative). Currently, he is working with the Technical University in Eindhoven (Netherlands) assisting with validation and safety work on the PrecEyes ophthalmic surgical robot.
