Graduate School: (1) Harvard School of Public Health (M.S.) (2) Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (Ph.D.)
To improve our understanding of the complex relationship between structural and functional change over time in the aging and glaucoma eye. To develop computational and statistical techniques to improve glaucomatous change detection, reduce the number of visits and optimize the type of testing required To identify risk factors that can predict glaucomatous progression and rapidly progressing glaucoma.

Linda Zangwill, Ph.D, is Professor of Ophthalmology and co-Director of Clinical Research and Director of the Imaging Data Evaluation and Analysis (IDEA) Center at the Hamilton Glaucoma Center. Dr. Zangwill received her M.S. at the Harvard School of Public Health and her Ph.D. from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
Dr. Zangwill’s research focuses on improving our understanding of the complex relationship between structural and functional change over time in the aging and glaucoma eye, developing computational and statistical techniques to improve glaucomatous change detection, and identifying risk factors that can predict rapidly progressing glaucoma.
As Director of the Imaging Data Evaluation and Analysis (IDEA) Center, Dr. Zangwill has developed and implemented protocols for utilizing diagnostic imaging instruments in national and international mutli-center clinical trials of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
