Dear Friends:
In this, our first annual report, we celebrate our successes and share the good news
of innovation in science and clinical care. We also mark a new era in Casey history: in
2001, we celebrated ten years in our own freestanding institute, and last year we
kicked off a $26 million campaign to expand the building.
Our rapid growth makes it imperative to enlarge our facility. Since we first opened our
doors in 1991, our federal research funding has more than tripled. Funding from the
National Institutes of Health places OHSU in 9th place among all institutes receiving
support from the National Eye Institute. Clinical growth has been extraordinary –
a 100% increase in outpatient visits since 1991 (over 44,000 in 2002). Our staff has
increased to 270 people, most still housed in the original, 120,000-square foot building.
This report highlights many of the accomplishments of our researchers and educators.
Their achievements span a gamut that ranges from unraveling the genetic mysteries
of glaucoma and macular degeneration, the leading causes of visual loss among the
elderly in this country, to advances in online education. There are many numbers that
could be quoted. For example, our uveitis service, a small division in this department,
has seven NIH grants. Our residency training program is more sought-after than ever.
We now have 80 applicants for every available position. But an academic department
is much more than numbers or specific achievements. It is a community which hopefully
provides a unique constellation of resources in a supportive and collaborative environ-
ment that advances our knowledge, cares for the sick and improves our future.
Our greatest accomplishment at Casey is developing the type of community that I just
described. I am particularly proud to report that the Casey spirit is thriving.
It embodies the values of academic medicine that we all cherish. It promises us a
bright future.
I want to conclude this introductory statement with comments about a venture that is a
major source of pride for me. In 1999, we formed a partnership with Legacy’s Devers
Eye Institute on the Good Samaritan campus in northwest Portland, emphasizing
cooperation rather than competition. Together, we can better allocate scarce
resources and benefit the entire region. This affiliation adds to our talent pool and
enriches the residency experience. We share an eye bank and jointly host Grand
Rounds, strengthening our commitment to learning, patient service and the local
community.
2002 was a watershed year in the history of the Casey Eye Institute, one whose promise
will be fulfilled in the years ahead. As you read, I know you will come to share our
sense of excitement at what the future holds.
Sincerely,
Joseph E. Robertson, M.D., M.B.A.

Research toPreventBlindness is the
world’s leading organization
in support of eye research.
In 1982, New York-based
RPB selected the Department
of Ophthalmology in the
Oregon Health & Science
University as its seventh
regional eye center, and
played a major role in con-
ceiving and developing the
Casey Eye Institute. This
included mobilizing financial
resources and procuring
essential laboratory space,
equipment and scientific
personnel.
According to RPB chair-
man David Weeks, OHSU
was chosen because its
ophthalmology department
had the talent to attract,
train and inspire
researchers of the highest
caliber. And now, more
than 20 years later, Weeks’
foresight has proven
prophetic: The Casey Eye
Institute has become one
of the leading eye research
facilities in the world.
This interactive relationship
is further evidenced by
ongoing collaboration with
RPB. RPB has awarded the
Casey Eye Institute nearly
$3 million over the years.
According to Joe Robertson,
M.D., chairman of the
Department of Ophthalmology,
“Many of our advances can
be linked directly to our
long-term relationship with
RPB.”
RPB funding, both restrict-
ed and specific grant
awards, has allowed the
department to pursue
research in uveitis, glauco-
ma, macular degeneration,
cataracts, and retinal and
corneal diseases.
RPB ADDS CRITICAL FUNDING

John C. Morrison, M.D., receivedthe Lew Wasserman Award fromRPB, and is studying the cellularresponse of the optic nerve head. His findings have led to a hypothesisthat explains why early damage inhuman glaucoma characteristicallyoccurs in the superior and inferioroptic nerve head.
William D. Mathers, M.D., recipient of the RPB Physician-Scientist Award, investigates the interaction of the surface of the eye and the regulation of tear production in the lacrimal gland.
RPB Senior ScientificInvestigator Ted Acott,
Ph.D., focuses on under-standing how the trabecularmeshwork senses intraocular
pressure changes andresponds to maintain it
within acceptable levels toavoid glaucoma in the
healthy eye. Understandingthe normal functions of this
tissue should provide keysfor correcting the changes,
which result in elevatedintraocular pressure and
trigger optic nerve damagein glaucoma.Mary Wirtz, Ph.D., an RPB Dolly Green
Scholar, is using RPB funding to support several glaucoma genetic projects. By analyzing DNA samples, Wirtz and her team mapped the third and sixth gene of the six now associated with glaucoma.
2002 recipient of the Robert E. McCormickScholar Award, Tim Stout, M.D., is develop-ing ways to genetically modulate the processof intraocular cellular proliferation. This isdone to prevent the blinding complicationsof diseases such as age-related maculardegeneration, proliferative diabeticretinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, and post-cataract extraction posterior capsular opacification.
Stephen Planck, Ph.D., recipientof the James S. Adams ScholarAward from RPB, is using a multifaceted approach to studyingocular inflammation. His team isculturing cells from the lining ofthe blood vessels and studying theirrole as gatekeepers for the whiteblood cells. Videomicroscopy is usedto track the different kinds of cellsthat initiate and execute immuneand inflammatory responses.

CORNEA
Stem cell transplants give the gift of sight.
Cornea service director
Larry F. Rich, M.D. treats
some forms of corneal
disease with epithelial stem
cell transplants. The trans-
plants can help regenerate
cells—and sight—damaged
by disease, adverse drug
reactions, or burns. Dr. Rich
recalls a gift of epithelial
cells from one identical
twin to another that allowed
a woman to regain sight
after 30 years of blindness.
Used as a precursor to
whole-cornea grafts, prolif-
erating stem cells can
sometimes even preclude
the need for a transplant,
and grafts of stem cells
and conjunctival tissue can
keep pterygia from recurring.
Another tool for treating
corneal disease is Casey’s
confocal microscope,
which William Mathers, M.D.
is using to evaluate the
effectiveness of antibiotics
in treating acanthamoeba.
By allowing researchers to
watch cells interact, the
microscope can speed
assessment of whether—
and which—antibiotics
work against disease. We
also use confocal
microscopy in refractive
surgery (to determine the
thickness of LASIK flaps),
to diagnose infectious
disease and to collaborate
on immunologic research
with James T. Rosenbaum,
M.D., director of Casey’s
uveitis service.
Casey Eye Institute’s
cornea service is home to
the National Registry of
Drug-Induced Ocular Side
Effects, the only resource
of its kind in any subspe-
cialty. Founded by F.T.
“Fritz” Fraunfelder, M.D. in
1976, the Registry went

online in 2002 under the
direction of Rick Fraunfelder,
M.D. (www.eyedrugreg-
istry.com). The father-son
team has written extensive-
ly on ocular pharmacology,
recently reviewing side
effects of high-profile drugs
like Gleevec and Zyrtec.
Log on to the Registry to
report cases or request
information on a particular
drug.
Casey is currently the only
site in the country treating
ocular surface tumors with
liquid nitrogen cryotherapy.
At -196°C, tumors are
quickly frozen. “The treat-
ment is less damaging to
the eye than radiation,”
notes Rick Fraunfelder, M.D.,
adding that this high-tech
surgery is also quicker and
more cost-effective than
other methods.
The Casey cornea team
continues working to make
refractive surgery safer
and more successful,
using our substantial
patient database to evalu-
ate and improve outcomes.
In bench research, Dr.
Mathers and Yuan Fang,
M.D., Ph.D. are studying
molecular interactions
between the lacrimal gland
and other organ systems,
working toward a possible
genetic explanation for the
persistent problem of dry
eye. Damien Macaluso,
M.D. is also collaborating
with Tim Stout, M.D. of our
retina service on gene ther-
apy for corneal disease.
To disseminate the insights
gained in the laboratory
and clinic, Macaluso plans
to make the joint Casey/Devers
Eye Institute Grand Rounds
available on the Web.
Special technology will
make lectures easy to
download even without a
high-speed connection,
and a series of questions
at each lecture’s end will
allow viewers to earn CME
credits for virtual atten-
dance. According to
Dr. Macaluso, not only
virtual Grand Rounds but
also Web-based telecon-
ferences are in Casey’s
future.

Giving Well: The Story of August and Margaret Petti
Owners of the Portland
landmark Henry Thiele’s
Restaurant, August Petti and
his wife Margaret Thiele Petti
sought help at OHSU in the
late 1980s when August’s
eyesight began to fail. The
pair saw Kenneth Swan,
M.D. in early 1990. He
referred them to corneal spe-
cialist Larry Rich, M.D., who
performed a corneal transplant
that allowed the 98-year-old
gentleman to regain his sight
and enjoy life again. Later,
Margaret Petti had cataract
surgery at Casey, and saw
Michael Klein, M.D., and
David Wilson, M.D., for
treatment of her diabetic
retinopathy. Both August and
Margaret Petti were also
patients of F.T. “Fritz”
Fraunfelder, M.D.
Casey Eye Institute’s fourth-
floor atrium, named for the
Pettis, incorporates the
world’s largest glass floor.
Made of brilliant blue glass
blocks, it is a stunning
reminder of this generous
couple.
The Pettis created three
endowments at Casey:
The Chair of Ophthalmology
in honor of Kenneth C.
Swan, M.D., currently held
by Joseph E. Robertson, M.D.
The Chair for the
Director of Corneal Service
in honor of Larry F. Rich,
M.D., who holds the chair.

corneal and diabetes-
related diseases.

OPHTHALMIC GENETICS CENTER
“We are entering an era of being able to make more precisediagnosis more quickly through testing at the molecular level.”
Richard Weleber, M.D.
The Ophthalmic Genetics Center at
Casey Eye Institute is one of few in
the country devoted to diagnosing
complex genetic diseases with asso-
ciated ophthalmic problems.
Director Richard Weleber, M.D., is
a founding member of the American
Board of Medical Genetics. He
offers a unique set of qualifications
since he is both a board certified
ophthalmologist and medical
geneticist.
Many genetically linked syndromes
include eye problems in their medical
landscape. In the past, making a
specific diagnosis was a difficult and
lengthy process, but that scenario
is changing. As Weleber states,
“We use laboratories across the
country where specialized genetic
tests have been developed,
enabling us to diagnose diseases
previously very difficult to pinpoint.”
Like a master sleuth, Weleber care-
fully assembles all the pieces of the
puzzle. When fitted together, they
often form a picture of a specific
genetic syndrome.
Karmen Trzupek, M.S., assists
Weleber by providing genetic coun-
seling to patients and their families.
“Having a genetic counselor is a
great advantage,” Weleber continues,
“Often, we are able to establish the
presence of an inherited disease
previously unknown in a family.”
Chrystal Smith, who lives in Juneau,
Alaska, is grateful for Weleber’s
expertise. Two years ago, she
began experiencing vision loss and
was diagnosed with retinitis pigmen-
tosa. However, Smith felt she needed
more answers and found Dr. Weleber.
After extensive testing and exploring
her family medical history, Weleber
diagnosed autosomal dominant neo-
vascular inflammatory vitreoretinopathy
(ADNIV). The rare disease had been
traced to one family in Iowa and
Ohio. Smith recalled a paternal
grandfather who had lost vision.
“Looking for more answers, I called
a second cousin who is a Midwest
physician. She explored our family
genealogy and found early family lin-
eage linked to this same family in
Iowa.”
Knowing a specific diagnosis, Smith
will be able to mitigate conditions
associated with this disease, includ-
ing a greater likelihood of cataracts
and glaucoma. She continues,
“I have been so impressed seeing
research in action. Even though the
Casey is two plane flights and two
thousand miles away, every visit is
very much worth the effort.”

CEI researchers are working
hard to improve treatment
for this devastating eye
disease, to understand its
causes, and ultimately, to
find a cure.
John Morrison, M.D., and
Elaine Johnson, Ph.D.,
have developed a glaucoma
model that highlights the
focal nature of optic nerve
damage, bringing us
several steps closer to
understanding how elevat-
ed intraocular pressure
causes glaucoma.
Morrison and Johnson
have found a distinct,
repeatable pattern of injury,
allowing them to pinpoint
the injury site in a specific
region of the nerve head.
Morrison’s work was
recently recognized with
the Lew R. Wasserman
Merit Award for Glaucoma
Research from Research to
Prevent Blindness. He is
also the recipient of a four-
year NIH grant, “Studies in
Glaucomatous Optic Nerve
Damage.”
Approaching the problem
from a genetic perspective,
John Samples, M.D., and
Mary Wirtz, Ph.D., have
discovered the third and
sixth (out of six) known
genetic loci for open angle
glaucoma in a study of
several large families. The
third locus, GLC1C, was
the first to be clearly delin-
eated for adult high-pres-
sure, open-angle glaucoma.
This study, derived from
Samples’ practice and
funded by several NEI
grants, was carried on in
both Portland and Greece.
Samples is also working
with other collaborators to
determine whether there is
value in testing glaucoma
genes commercially at
present.
In another approach to
elevated IOP, Samples and
Al Eisner, Ph.D., are using
psychophysical testing to
evaluate the neuroretinal
damage caused by elevated
IOP and drugs (most

recently, tamoxifen). In
addition, Samples is
collaborating with Paul
Knepper, M.D., Ph.D., of
Northwestern University to
study specific molecules,
termed CD44, which are
only elevated in primary
open-angle glaucoma.
These molecules seem to
be highly toxic to the out-
flow structures and to reti-
nal and optic nerve cells,
as well as to the trabecular
meshwork. He also has a
longstanding interest in the
effects of cytokines on the
meshwork’s extracellular
matrix and is examining the
presence of certain
enzymes (interleukin relat-
ed kinases, or IRAK) in the
trabecular meshwork asso-
ciated with reaction to the
cytokines.
As of this writing, the only
selective laser trabeculo-
plasty unit in the state of
Oregon is housed at the
Casey Eye Institute.
Researchers John Bradley,
Ph.D., Ted Acott, Ph.D.,
and Samples are evaluat-
ing it, both in patients and
in the laboratory, with the
goal of further refining the
mechanism by which it
works. In addition,
Samples is working with a
small California company
called Glaukos to develop
an entirely new type of out-
flow device for lowering
IOP. Clinical trials are
planned for mid-2003.
Both Morrison and
Samples continue to make
important contributions to
the literature. Working with
Irvin P. Pollack, M.D., of the
Wilmer Eye Institute,
Morrison has edited a new,
comprehensive text,
Glaucoma: Science and
Practice. This textbook,
released by Thieme
Medical Publishers in
November 2002, contains
contributions from more
than 35 recognized experts
from throughout the world.
It covers basic science,
clinical diagnosis and man-
agement of all forms of
glaucoma, and includes
important new details on
etiology, genetics, and epi-
demiology as well as a dis-
cussion of neuroprotection.
Samples is presently work-
ing on a book on ophthalmic
genetics for W.B. Saunders.
Eisner and Samples are
co-investigators on “Visual
Adaptation Limits of Age-
Related Disease” (the two
also hope to begin an NIH-
funded study this year on
female hormones and
vision.) Samples, who cur-
rently serves on the AAO’s
Technology Assessment
committee as well as the
committee charged with
rewriting the association’s
glaucoma text, is co-direc-
tor of a national glaucoma
symposium to be held in
Las Vegas in mid-2003.

Directed by James T.
Rosenbaum, M.D., holder
of the Edward T.
Rosenbaum Chair in
Inflammatory Diseases, the
service includes co-director
Eric B. Suhler, M.D., chief
of ophthalmology at the
Portland Veterans Affairs
Medical Center; Justine
Smith, M.B.B.S., Ph.D.;
Roger George, M.D., and
Daryl Kurz, M.D.
Rosenbaum is the current
president of the American
Uveitis Society.
The Casey Eye Institute is
an important part of new
uveitis therapy studies.
Patients come from all over
the Pacific Northwest for
specialized care, some-
times including experimental
drugs. For example,
Rosenbaum, Suhler and
Smith are investigating
infliximab (Remicade), a
monoclonal antibody
against tumor-necrosis factor
alpha, for treatment of
vision-threatening, non-
infectious uveitis that is
refractory to other systemic
immunosuppressants.
Though Remicade has
already been proved effec-
tive in the treatment of
other systemic inflammatory
diseases (such as Crohn
disease and rheumatoid
arthritis), this is the first trial
of the drug specifically for
ocular inflammation.
Since 1985 the NIH has
generously supported
OHSU’s basic research into
the pathogenesis of uveitis
and ocular inflammation.
UVEITIS and INFLAMMATORY DISEASES
“Uveitis researchers are looking to the needs of the future.”
James T. Rosenbaum, M.D. with his father, Edward T. Rosenbaum, M.D.
11
CEI researchers, including
Stephen R. Planck, Ph.D.,
were among the first to
study cytokines and adhe-
sion molecules in ocular
inflammation. CEI is also a
world pioneer in using
intravitreal microscopy to
watch cells at work in the
eyes of living rodents and
people, monitoring immune
system activity in and
around individual blood
vessels or cells as a dis-
ease progresses.
CEI researchers led by
Tammy Martin, Ph.D., have
also embarked on a project
to identify the genes that
increase uveitis risk, col-
lecting family histories and
blood for DNA analysis
from patients throughout
the United States, Canada
and Europe. The Casey is
the only center in the world
to publish on the isolation
and characterization of
microvascular endothelial
cells from the iris. The
endothelial cell is a gate-
keeper in inflammation,
and CEI researchers are
characterizing its role in
uveitis as well as in other
diseases, such as diabetic
retinopathy. Finally, we are
also investigating how a
slight change in a protein
called NOD2 results in
Blau syndrome, a rare,
inherited form of uveitis.
CEI’s uveitis researchers
are looking to the needs of
the future, as Rosenbaum
administers a training grant
that supports seven pre-
doctoral graduate students
in eye-related research. In
the past, this program has
convinced several talented
scientists to take up oph-
thalmic research. Faculty
members are also continu-
ing their own education:
Smith returns in July from a
research fellowship with
Yvonne DeKozak, M.D.,
Ph.D., at the Centre de
Recherches Biomedical
des Cordeliers in Paris,
while Suhler will soon com-
plete his master’s in public
health with an emphasis in
epidemiology and
biostatistics.

MACULAR DEGENERATION TREATMENT POSSIBILITIES EXPAND
“We will now have the opportunity to deliver therapeutic genes directly to a patient’s cells.”
Timothy Stout, M.D., Ph.D.
“Of all the recent research
developments in the realm of
retinal disorders, the most
exciting is in the field of macular
degeneration,” states Joseph
Robertson, M.D., M.B.A., pro-
fessor and chairman of the
department of ophthalmology.
“Five to ten years ago, we had
very limited treatment options.
Today, we are involved in clini-
cal trials exploring multiple
modes of therapy that existed
only in our imaginations until
now. We can now offer hope of
vision stabilization in many of
our patients and the promise of
vision improvement for all
seems close at hand.”
For the first time, researchers
are learning how to treat eye
disease at the cellular level.
Tim Stout, M.D., Ph.D., enthusi-
astically details how last year’s
completion of the Human
Genome Project is impacting
his life as a retina physician
and researcher. “In the past,
I have only had mechanical
tools such as laser or surgery
to repair eye disease damage.
We will now have the opportunity
to deliver therapeutic genes
directly to a patient’s cells.”
Using this master map of the
30,000 genes in the human
body, Casey researchers have
already pinpointed genes
responsible for macular degen-
eration and glaucoma. As
Stout explains, “We know the
development of many serious
eye diseases is influenced by
one or more abnormal genes.
When we locate all the genetic
players in each disease, we
can then look at what goes
wrong inside the cell and work
on altering those chemical
processes at the cellular level,
halting the disease process
before it even gets started.”
Although still in its infancy, the
ability to deliver therapeutic
genes directly to the retina will
expand the spectrum of possi-
ble treatments for age-related
macular degeneration, or AMD.
Nationally, AMD is the leading

cause of irreversible vision loss
in the U.S., currently affecting
1.7 million people over the age
of 65. An increasing aging
population is propelling
researchers at Casey Eye
Institute and other institutions
across the country to try to
understand the causes and
develop effective treatments for
this often-debilitating disease.
A major underlying cause of
macular degeneration is known
to be angiogenesis, the growth
of unwanted new blood vessels.
These can bleed and scar,
damaging light-sensitive cells
and destroying a person’s cen-
tral vision. This same process
occurs in diabetic retinopathy
and retinopathy of prematurity.
Stout continues, “How these
blood vessels grow is a complex
process. Researchers have
isolated 22 different chemicals
encoded in genes responsible
for growing new blood vessels.
We know gene-containing pro-
teins like vascular endothelial
growth factor (VEGF) promote
vascular growth and others like
pigment epithelial derivative
factor (PEDF) inhibit growth. In
a healthy eye, these two factors
remain in balance. In the dis-
eased eye, biological signals
instruct new vessels to grow,
overpowering those that would
typically prevent the process.”
Stout and Michael Klein, M.D.,
are in the early phase of a
multi-center clinical trial spon-
sored by GenVec, a biotech
company developing anti-
angiogenic drugs designed to
deliver medication directly to
the retina by means of an
injection behind the eye.
This approach to treating AMD
is not completely new.
Beginning two years ago,
Klein, director of the Macular
Degeneration Center, began a
study in conjunction with
Eyetech Pharmaceuticals
involving an investigative drug
named Macugen, also
designed to block new blood
vessel growth. An expanded
study is now underway.
In tandem with gene therapy,
researchers are moving closer
to identifying specific genes
responsible for AMD. In the
Genetics of AMD study led by
Klein and Dennis Schultz,
Ph.D., the DNA of more than
100 families affected by the
disease is being analyzed.
Four years ago, Klein and his
team localized the first gene
linked to AMD in several mem-
bers of a large family.
Klein, along with Andreas
Lauer, M.D., is also conducting
a study of the steroid anacor-
tave acetate and its effectiveness
in preventing new blood vessel
growth. It is being compared to
photodynamic therapy, a major
medical breakthrough
approved in the spring of 2000
for the treatment of wet AMD.
Although this approach does
not restore vision lost to AMD,
it can slow the progression of
the disease.
Other types of laser treatment
are also being studied. Klein
and his team are conducting
the Complications of Age-
Related Macular Degeneration
Trial (CAPT) to learn if a specif-
ic laser treatment can prevent
the advanced complications of
AMD and the associated vision
loss.
The most recent faculty addi-
tion to the retina service, Lauer
has immersed himself in
research as a co-investigator in
several studies, including the
Age-Related Eye Disease
Study (AREDS) at Devers Eye
Institute. He also serves as the
residency program coordinator.
Interest in the carotenoids,
lutein and zeaxanthin, pig-
ments found in green, yellow
and orange fruits and vegeta-
bles evolved into two studies.
Klein and his team are con-
ducting the Carotenoid Study,
sponsored by the Foundation
14
Fighting Blindness, to determine
whether consuming large amounts
of carotenoid-containing foods will
possibly decrease the risk of devel-
oping wet AMD. The Carotenoids
in Age-Related Eye Disease Study
(CAREDS), sponsored by NIH as
part of the Kaiser Women’s Health
Initiative, is looking at how environ-
mental factors such as diet, sunlight
exposure and family history may
influence AMD.
David Wilson, M.D. and Robert
Watzke, M.D., are nearing completion
of the NIH-sponsored Collaborative
Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS),
which began in 1987. Wilson is
also the principal investigator and
a writing committee member of the
Submacular Surgery Trial (SST),
which will conclude in September
2003. In conjunction with Oculex,
he is testing a new delivery system
with a self-dissolving pellet implanted
under the conjunctiva designed to
treat cystoid macular edema. In
addition, Wilson recently completed
his thesis for membership in the
American Ophthalmological
Society involving glucose uptake in
the inner retina.
Generosity Advances Macular Degeneration Research
Bula “Bea” BuckArveson’s voice sparkled with
resolve about helping researchers find
a cure for age-related macular degen-
eration, the leading cause of severe
vision loss in people older than 65.
Because she and two siblings had
experienced vision loss from AMD, she
had a personal interest in this disease.
During a 1995 interview, she spoke of
her desire to assist researchers in find-
ing a cure for AMD. “Something has to
be done and I think OHSU researchers
can do it. I want to help make that possible.”
Although Arveson died last year at the
age of 98, she left a clear directive with
a $5 million gift to the OHSU Casey
Eye Institute, establishing the Bula
Buck and Charles C. Arveson
Endowment Fund. This is one of the
largest private gifts ever given to help
fight macular degeneration.
A patient at Casey for more than a
decade, Arveson also served on the
board of its Macular Degeneration
Center. “Her generous gift will allow us
to dramatically accelerate our
research,” said Michael Klein, M.D.,
director of the center and Arveson’s
physician. “The center has already
been instrumental in advances in drug
therapy, genetics research and nutrition
to prevent and treat this disease, but
this kind of transformative gift can lead
to greater things.”
Born in 1902 to a pioneering family in
Idaho Falls, Idaho, she married Charles
Arveson in 1925 and moved to
Portland. Her husband, who died in
1988, spent 35 years as vice president
and western manager of U.S. Epperson
Underwriting Company. Arveson devoted
much of her life to public service, vol-
unteering for organizations such as
Head Start and the Portland Veterans
Affairs Medical Center. In the early
1930s, she was instrumental in getting
the first black woman admitted to the
nursing program at the University of
Oregon Medical School, now the
OHSU School of Medicine.
Bea Arveson spent a lifetime caring for
others. Her generous legacy will continue
to make a huge difference in conquer-
ing AMD, a disease that can greatly
impact a person’s vision and subse-
quently their quality of life. Sigrid
Button, a former administrator of the
Casey Eye Institute recalls Arveson.
“She always had tremendous foresight
and understood this gift would be the
very best investment for her own family
as well as reaching many lives far into
the future.”

The Casey Eye Institute’s
Low Vision Rehabilitation
Clinic provides an invalu-
able service to patients
referred by ophthalmolo-
gists and optometrists in
Oregon and from many
other states. Clinic director
John Boyer, O.D., evalu-
ates patients with low
vision as a supplement to
their medical ophthalmolo-
gy needs. The clinic helps
patients find ways to pur-
sue their interests and
activities despite the need
for vision assistance.
“People tend to scale down
their lives when faced with
vision loss, which can be
devastating,” Boyer notes.
“It is essential to find ways
to help them maintain a
satisfying lifestyle and
activity level.” Something
as simple as proper light-
ing or as complex as the
latest video technology can
help patients return to
work, school or daily activi-
ties. Even more importantly,
low vision rehabilitation
helps people recover the
independence, autonomy
and optimism they may
have lost.

OPHTHALMIC PLASTIC and RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY
“Our research is ultimately all done to benefit our patients.”Roger A. Dailey, M.D.
Our oculoplastics division
continues to lead the way in
both cosmetic and reconstructive
procedures. Roger A. Dailey,
M.D., has developed new tech-
niques in lacrimal surgery
(Instat for hemostasis), ptosis
surgery (transconjunctival fascia
late sling), and orbital surgery
(LeFort I Orbitotomy). He also
recently designed a globe
retractor (now sold by Bausch
& Lomb) used in optic nerve
sheath decompression and
orbital tumor removal.
Currently, he is working with a
company called Ocular
Concepts to produce iris-
enhanced conformers for post-
operative enucleation patients,
with collaborative trials under-
way. In addition, clinically
based research continues to
flourish at CEI. Allergan
Pharmaceuticals is sponsoring
a new clinical trial of Botox, set
to begin in early 2003. “After
all,” notes Dailey, “our research
is ultimately all done to benefit
our patients.” On the academic
side, Dailey is coauthor, with
John Wobig, M.D., of
Oculoplastic Surgery: Face,
Lacrimal System, and Orbit,
expected from Thieme Medical
Publishers in the fall of 2003.
Holder of the Lester T. Jones
Chair of Ophthalmic Facial
Plastic Surgery - the only
endowed chair in oculoplastics
in the country - Dailey is also
preceptor of CEI’s two-year,
ASOPRS-sponsored fellowship
program, which offers training
in all aspects of ophthalmic
plastic and reconstructive sur-
gery. As one of just 28 such
fellowships (only seven west of
the Mississippi), it has been
extremely competitive nation-
wide. Recently, CEI matched
its first choice yet again for the
fellowship beginning in July
2003.

John D. Ng, M.D., covers the
trauma, reconstructive and
pediatric portions of CEI’s
Division of Ophthalmic Facial
Plastic Surgery. Because
Casey Eye Institute is the
Pacific Northwest’s eye trauma
center, he serves patients from
Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and northern California. Ng is
currently developing new
orbital implants using Medpor
Bioglass, a porous polyethyl-
ene/silicone blend that has
been shown to promote blood
vessel growth. By stimulating
growth, this new material can
decrease the time necessary to
complete vascularization by
one-third to one-half. Ng also
uses Bioglass to repair orbital
implants.
In pediatric surgery, Ng is
refining his technique for
implantation of a new, self-
expanding orbital and socket
implant, used to treat congenital
hypoplastic eye socket disorder.
He was the first in the country
to implant these devices
(which were developed in
Germany and only recently
FDA-approved), bilaterally and
simultaneously. For Graves dis-
ease, Ng does small incision
orbital decompression, using a
1-cm lateral canthal skin inci-
sion (orbit only). Finally, he is
developing new approaches to
orbital reconstruction using 3-D
stereolithographic technology
to build custom orbital
implants. Using a 3-D model
based on CT imaging of a
patient’s head, Ng can shape a
custom implant from putty that
is then built by the company.
Among his research interests,
Ng is exploring ways to
improve local anesthetic
administration in office-based
oculoplastic surgery and refin-
ing techniques to address ocular
problems in patients with facial
nerve paralysis.
In addition to his clinical inno-
vations, Ng plays an active role
in academic medicine. He is
associate preceptor for
Casey’s ASOPRS fellowship,
helping train the next genera-
tion of oculoplastics specialists.
He is also co-editor and co-
author of the textbook
Evaluation and Treatment
o f Orbital Fractures: A
Multidisciplinary Approach,
to be published by
W.B. Saunders.

PEDIATRICS - ELKS CHILDREN’S EYE CLINIC
The Oregon State Elkshave been integral in the success
of the Elks Children’s Eye
Clinic. This special relationship
between the Department of
Ophthalmology and the Elks
dates back to 1949, when
Dr. Kenneth Swan needed an
oximeter for a baby whose
father was an Oregon Elk.
The Elks raised $2000 for the
oximeter, and soon after, their
continued generosity estab-
lished our pediatric clinic.
In the years since, the Elks
have contributed enormously
to eye care at OHSU. They
helped pay for the nation’s first
microscope for ocular surgery,
the Northwest’s first ophthalmic
excimer laser, and Oregon’s
first photokeratoscope for
children. Today, the Oregon
State Elks Association con-
tributes over $500,000 per
year to the Elks Children’s Eye
Clinic and the Oregon School
for the Blind.
Oregon Elks donate thousands
of hours volunteering at the
Casey Eye Institute—assisting
patients, working on projects
for staff, and providing informa-
tion to the public with a smile.
The Elks also funded up-to-date
equipment for the pediatric
ophthalmology exam room at
OHSU’s Doernbecher Children’s
Hospital, which is staffed by
the faculty of the Elks Children’s
Eye Clinic.
From the beginning, it was the
Elks’ critical philanthropic
support that allowed Casey’s
founder Kenneth C. Swan, M.D.,
to recruit top faculty. “They’ve
given us an edge,” notes Earl
Palmer, M.D., head of the Elks
Children’s Eye Clinic. Our
pediatrics service has also
been blessed with significant,
ongoing support from the
Annie E. Casey Foundation,
which has allowed us to
expand our services.
For more than 50 years, the
Elks Children’s Eye Clinic has
conducted cutting-edge eye
research and provided superior
eye care for children in the
Pacific Northwest. Dr. Palmer is
principal investigator and chair
Since Casey opened its doors, the number of children seen hasdoubled and the volume of research has tripled.

of the NIH-sponsored, multi-
center trial “Cryotherapy for
Retinopathy of Prematurity”(ROP).
Begun in 1986, this nationwide,
landmark study was designed
to help physicians determine
when and how to treat ROP in
order to save as many chil-
dren’s vision as possible. The
study’s results have revolution-
ized ROP management and
inspired more research.
Today Dr. Palmer serves on the
executive committee for a
multicenter trial that will help
identify infants at high risk for
ROP earlier than in the past.
David T. Wheeler, M.D., is
Oregon’s principal investigator
and Ann U. Stout, M.D., is a
co-investigator in this “early
treatments” study, while
researcher Michael Powers,
M.D., is studying retinal vessel
development in a parallel effort
to better understand ROP.
Our pediatrics faculty partici-
pate in several other clinical
trials, all federally funded by
the National Eye Institute.
Palmer belongs to the data and
safety monitoring committee for
a multicenter consortium, the
Pediatric Eye Diseases
Investigative Group (PEDIG).
Wheeler is an investigator for
this group, working on the now
complete Congenital Esotropia
Observational Study as well as
on several amblyopia studies.
He is also an investigator in the
Infant Aphakia Treatment Study
(IATS), researching the best
way to care for infants younger
than 6 months who develop a
cataract in one eye. He partici-
pates in OHSU’s Human
Investigations Program, one of
only five such programs in the
country designed by the NIH to
stimulate physician leadership
in clinical research.
Since Casey Eye Institute
opened its doors in 1991, the
number of pediatric patients
seen here has doubled, and
the volume of research has
tripled. As a major Pacific
Northwest referral center, the
Elks Children’s Eye Clinic treats
approximately 8,000 children
each year. The four current
faculty- Palmer, Laurie
Christensen, M.D., Stout, and
Wheeler- plan to add one more
member to the department
through a pediatric
fellowship program that will
begin in the near future.

Robert Egan, M.D., and
W. Thomas Shults, M.D.,
form a critical team of clini-
cian investigators who see
patients with the entire
spectrum of neuro-
ophthalmic disorders.
These include ischemic
optic neuropathy, optic
neuritis, optic atrophy,
stroke, multiple sclerosis,
cranial nerve palsies, brain
tumor, myasthenia gravis,
thyroid eye diseases, psy-
chiatric disorders and
unexplained visual com-
plaints.
Through a dynamic collab-
oration between the neuro-
ophthalmology service, the
Oregon Stroke Center, and
the Dotter Interventional
Institute in the OHSU
School of Medicine,
patients are being evaluated
and treated for acute reti-
nal artery occlusion. A
catheter is inserted into a
blood vessel behind the
patient’s eye, and clot-
busting medication is used
to dissolve clots that have
blocked the blood supply
to the retina.
As in the other subspecialties
at the Casey Eye Institute,
the neuro-ophthalmology
unit actively participates in
several research projects.
Subjects diagnosed with
Leber’s hereditary optic
neuropathy in one eye are
being studied to determine
if treatment with an eye
drop medication will
decrease their risk of
developing this condition in
the other eye.
The relationship between
neuro-ophthalmologic
signs and stroke is also
being investigated, as is
the link between optic
nerve hypoplasia and
epilepsy.

CASEY OPHTHALMIC ASSOCIATES
Physicians Bring Diverse Backgrounds to Patient Care
Casey Ophthalmic Associates
cares for a wide-ranging popula-
tion as the general ophthalmology
service at the Casey Eye Institute.
The staff includes Kelly Chung,
M.D., William Farr, M.D., and Devin
Gattey, M.D., who recently joined
the group to accommodate grow-
ing numbers of patients. Tammie
Krisciunas, O.D., specializes in
contact lens care. With the assis-
tance of the OHSU Translation &
Interpreter Services, care is provid-
ed to patients speaking some 40
different languages.
Chung blends a busy clinical and
surgical practice with her interest
in medical informatics, the science
of developing and using informa-
tion technologies to improve health
care. Nationally, she is one of two
ophthalmologists working in con-
junction with the American Academy
of Ophthalmology on the Systematized
Nomenclature of Medical Reference
Terminology (SNOMED) project.
This collaborative endeavor
between the United Kingdom and
the United States is producing a
comprehensive medical terminolo-
gy database to be used worldwide
as the basis for all medical software.
As Chung states, “This terminology
is much different than say, ICD or
CPT, because it is modeled using
artificial intelligence, so information
searches are very robust. For
instance, a search for all patients
with open angle glaucoma would
retrieve not only patients with
“POAG,” but also pigmentary glau-
coma, low tension glaucoma and
pseudo-exfoliation glaucoma with-
out the user specifying or knowing
that these conditions are types of
open angle glaucomas. That knowl-
edge is built into the system.” Also,
since SNOMED has been translat-
ed into several languages, it will
truly give physicians a common
medical language.
Kelly Chung, M.D.
Devin Gattey, M.D., recently joined
Casey Ophthalmic Associates.
Having served in the Peace Corps
in Nepal, his interests gravitate
toward international medicine.
During his inaugural medical mis-
sion, he accompanied a team to
Peru, performing cataract
surgery on native Indians living at
an elevation of over 14,000 feet. In
May of this year, Gattey will journey
to Guatemala as part of another
medical team. “My long term goal is
to establish an international clinic
where Casey providers can have
this kind of experience. Despite
the monumental task of putting a
team together, it is a life-changing
experience.”

Outcome Study of Cryotherapy and Retinopathy of Prematurity Principal Investigator and National Chairman: Earl A. Palmer, M.D.Sponsor: National Institutes of Health/National Eye InstitutePurpose: Originally launched in 1985 to determine the safety and efficacy of trans-scleral cryotherapy of the peripheralretina in certain low-weight infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) for reducing blindness from ROP. Outcomestudy is to determine the long-term outcome for eyes that had severe (“threshold”) ROP, both with and without cryotherapy.
Early Treatment for Retinopathy of Prematurity Study (ETROP)Principal Investigator: David Wheeler, M.D.Sponsor: National Eye InstitutePurpose: To test the hypothesis that earlier treatment in carefully selected cases will result in an overall better visualoutcome than treatment at the conventional CRYO-ROP threshold point in the disease. “Early” treatment means the eyeis treated before the disease becomes severe.
Follow-up Study of the Early Treatment of Retinopathy of PrematurityTrial (ETROP) Principal Investigator: David Wheeler, M.D.Sponsor: National Eye InstitutePurpose: Because the vision in babies and young children changes significantly, it is believed that there may be long-term differences between the earlier treated eyes and the eyes treated after ROP became severe. This study will followthe vision of the children who were in the original ETROP study up to age 6.
Infant Aphakia Treatment Study (IATS)Principal Investigator: David Wheeler, M.D.Sponsor:: Emory UniversityPurpose: This is a pilot study which explores intraocular lens implantation in infants with monocular cataracts. Thepurpose of this project is to find out which treatment will result in better vision for babies who are born with a cataract inone eye: babies who have the cataract removed to the vision of babies who have the cataract removed and have anintraocular lens put in.
Amblyopia Treatment Studies (ATS)Principal Investigator: David Wheeler, M.D.Sponsor: National Eye Institute
Amblyopia Treatment Study 1Purpose: To determine whether the success rate with drug treatment (atropine) of amblyopia is equivalent to the suc-cess rate with occlusion (patching) therapy; to develop more precise estimates of the success rates of amblyopia treat-ment; to identify factors that may be associated with successful treatment of amblyopia; and to collect data on thecourse of treated amblyopia to provide more precise estimates of treatment effects than are now available
Amblyopia Treatment Study 2: An Evaluation of Patching Regimens for AmblyopiaPurpose: ATS 2 evaluates patching regimens for amblyopia. The treatment of choice for amblyopia is patching thegood eye. However, we do not know how many hours per day the patch should be worn for the best results.Depending on the severity of the amblyopia, the patch will be worn either all day or for 6 hours per day.

Amblyopia Treatment Study 3: Evaluation of Treatment of Amblyopia in 7 to < 18 yr olds Purpose: ATS3 assesses the effectiveness of amblyopia treatment in 7 to <18 year olds. If amblyopia is treated by thetime a child is 6 years old, vision usually improves. In older children, we do not know how often improvement canoccur with treatment, and we do not know the best treatment to prescribe. This study explores whether treatment withpatching plus an activity to force the child to use his or her weak eye will improve the child’s vision.
Amblyopia Treatment Study 4: A Randomized Trial Comparing Daily AtropineVersus Weekend Atropine for Moderate Amblyopia Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to compare the visual acuity outcome in the amblyopic eye after 17weeks of daily use of atropine versus weekend only use of atropine.
Genetics of Uveitis StudyPrincipal Investigator: Tammy Martin, Ph.D.Sponsor: National Eye InstitutePurpose: To search for genes or genetic factors that contribute to the development of acute anterior uveitis (or iritis).Many patients with uveitis have family members that also have uveitis. Our ultimate goal is to be able to treat or evenprevent uveitis by better understanding the genetics of this disease.
Use of Remicade in the Management of Vision-Threatening UveitisPrincipal Investigator: James Rosenbaum, M.D.Sponsor: Centocor, Inc.Purpose: To test the hypothesis that inhibition of binding between tumor necrosis factor alpha and its receptors usinginfliximib (Remicade®) is clinically useful in patients with uveitis that is refractory to other forms of systemic immunosup-pressive therapy. Infliximab is given by infusion every 2 months after a loading schedule. It is well tolerated. Recently,the increased risk of infection has been publicized.
Intravitreal Fluocinolone Acetonide Implant in Patients with Non Infectious UveitisPrincipal Investigator: James Rosenbaum, M.D.Sponsor: Bausch & Lomb PharmaceuticalsPurpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravitreal fluocinolone acetonde implants in the management ofpatients with non infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye. This study also compares the safety andefficacy of 2 doses of fluocinolone acetonide delivered by an intraocular/intravitreal implant in patients with non infec-tious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye. This trial involves implantation of a device which slowly releasescorticosteroid over a period of 3 years.

Affiliated with the Oregon Health & Science University School of
Medicine and directed by Andreas K. Lauer, M.D., the Casey Eye
Institute’s residency program is one of the most sought-after in the
United States. In 2002 we received more than 300 applications for
four positions starting in July 2004.
One reason for this popularity may be CEI’s high faculty-to-resident
ratio, which affords residents the opportunity to observe many dif-
ferent practice styles and allows a healthy balance between super-
vision and graded responsibility. Casey’s proximity to Devers Eye
Institute and the Portland Veterans Administration Medical Center
(conveniently linked to OHSU Hospital by a skybridge), means
additional clinical and surgical experience for residents; our status
as a “top ten” national research center, with over $10 million per
year in external funding, means an abundance of scientific opportu-
nities. In fact, Casey residents have a dedicated research rotation
during their first year. Our curriculum also includes courses in prac-
tice management designed to help prepare residents for a future in
either academic medicine or private practice.
In our 120,000-square foot, state-of-the art facility, residents receive
excellent training in comprehensive ophthalmology and exposure to
all of the generally recognized ophthalmology subspecialties.
