Joseph Caprioli

Joseph Caprioli is a distinguished Professor of Ophthalmology at the Jules Stein Eye Institute, University of California, Los Angeles. He serves as the David May II Professor and Chair, Chief of Glaucoma, and Director of the Glaucoma Photography Laboratory. His research focuses on glaucoma progression, retinal imaging, intraocular pressure dynamics, and machine learning applications in ophthalmic diagnostics.

• Key Research Areas: Glaucoma, optic nerve imaging, retinal neurodegeneration, OCT technology, visual field analysis
• Labs/Teams: Glaucoma Photography Laboratory, Ophthalmology Diagnostic Laboratory Perimetry Laboratory

Recent publications highlight his work on deep learning models for optic disc analysis (e.g., DDLSNet, RimNet), blood pressure correlations with retinal thinning, and structural-functional progression trajectories in glaucoma. His studies often integrate Bayesian hierarchical modeling and neural networks to enhance diagnostic accuracy.

He actively investigates telemedicine applications in glaucoma care and long-term surgical outcomes (e.g., Ahmed valve revisions, trabeculectomy with Mitomycin C). His work bridges clinical practice with computational advances to improve glaucoma management.
