The first to describe that mild topographic abnormalities occur in family members of patients with keratoconus.
Authored one of the first text books on corneal topography.
The first to demonstrate through a research study that keratoconus has a genetic basis.
The first to demonstrate which keratoconus suspect patterns progress to ultimately develop keratoconus.
Most recently published the first article which demonstrates that the femtosecond laser is accurate and preferable for creating channels to insert INTACS a novel new treatment for patients with keratoconus.

He has been a recipient of multiple awards to acknowledge his contributions to keratoconus research, these include:

The American Academy of Ophthalmology Honor Award.
The Jules Stein/UCLA Research Alumni Award.
