Dr. Nork is an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health whose clinical specialty is diseases and surgery of the retina and vitreous—including clinical electrophysiology. He is fellowship trained in ophthalmic pathology, as well. His research interests involve the histopathology and electrophysiology of retinal disease. He has an NIH grant to study the effects of glaucoma on the outer retina (the photoreceptors) and possible neuroprotective mechanisms. This work incorporates a model of experimental glaucoma in monkeys. In addition to his own laboratory research, he works with the University of Wisconsin Department of Ophthalmology Fundus Photograph Reading Center on grading retina photographs related to toxicologic studies and provides expertise on retinal laser photocoagulation for animal models of choroidal neovascularization and photic injury.
