SPEAKERS
Dr. Anat Galor MD MPSH
(USA)
Dr. Galor is a cornea and uveitis trained specialist with a dual appointment at the Miami Veterans Affairs (VA) medical center and the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Dr. Galor completed an ophthalmology residency
at the Cole Eye Cleveland Clinic, a uveitis fellowship at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins University, and a cornea and external diseases fellowship at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. Dr. Galor currently runs the ocular surface program at the
Miami VA and has focused her research on understanding mechanisms underlying chronic ocular surface pain, with an emphasis on studying new diagnostic and treatment modalities. She has lectured and published extensively on how nerve status may underlie
the often noted disconnect between patient reported symptoms and ocular surface findings. This includes individuals with decreased sensation and chronic epithelial abnormalities (neurotrophic phenotype) and individuals with hyper-sensitive nerves
and chronic ocular pain with minimal ocular surface abnormalities (neuropathic phenotype). Over the years, her work has been funded by the NIH, VA, and DOD and she has published and lectured widely on these topics. She has participated in several
dry eye related committees including the Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society (TFOS) Dry Eye Workshops and she is actively involved with a number of organizations including ARVO, AAO, and Ocular Microbiology and Immunology Group.
