Robert A. Goldberg

Dr. Robert A. Goldberg is a Professor at the Jules Stein Eye Institute, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), holding the Bert O. Levy Endowed Chair in Orbital and Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery. His work spans orbital decompression, thyroid eye disease, facial aging quantification, and complications of hyaluronic acid fillers.

• Research Focus: Orbital and ophthalmic plastic surgery, tumor histopathology, AI applications in facial aging, filler-related blindness mechanisms.
• Clinical Expertise: Management of proptosis, asymmetric ptosis, orbital vascular malformations, and thyroid-associated orbitopathy.
• Recent Trends: Publications emphasize multimodal therapies (e.g., Teprotumumab + decompression), nonoperative oncology (Bleomycin palliation), and dynamic imaging techniques (high-resolution ultrasound, CT volumetry).
• Collaborations: Extensive work with Rootman DB on orbital anatomy, Douglas RS on thyroid eye disease, and Ugradar S on filler complications.
• Technical Innovations: Described techniques for autologous tarsus banking, orbital volume expansion, and endoscopic orbital approaches.
