Barbara L. Brody, Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology and Family and Preventive Medicine at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), also serves as the Director of the Community Ophthalmology Division at Shiley Eye Center. Renowned for her groundbreaking research in the area of the psycho-social aspects of eye disease, Professor Brody has created intervention programs to improve the lives of people with age related macular degeneration, the leading cause of incurable vision loss in the older adults. Brody’s work in the area of psycho-social impact of eye disease has been among the first research in this area worldwide and has been recognized nationally and internationally.
 

Professor Brody in collaboration with Dr. Brown, Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology and Director of Shiley Eye Center at UCSD, created the first self-management program for an ocular disease. The research has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals such as Archives of Ophthalmology and Ophthalmolog. In her role as Director, Division of Community Ophthalmology Outreach and Education, Professor Brody along with Dr. Brown, is also leading academic based community service and research programs for Shiley Eye Center’s pediatric division, the Abraham Ratner Children’s Center. Professor Brody has been a member of the UCSD faculty since 1974 and received the UCSD Chancellor’s Associates Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1992.
