“Dr. Schwartz has been my eye doctor specialist for over 15 years. I owe my life to him. He has saved my only eye I have vision in more than once. He always makes me feel like I’m part of his family and just another patient.”
Dr. Steven Schwartz is an internationally renowned vitreoretinal surgeon and translational scientist who helped pioneer anti-VEGF therapy—the injections now used worldwide to treat macular degeneration. Perhaps best known for advancing gene and stem cell treatments for macular diseases, his innovations in diagnostic imaging, surgical instrumentation, and drug delivery have become standard care in retina centers across the globe.
As former Ahmanson Chair, Professor of Ophthalmology, and Retina Division Chief at UCLA’s Jules Stein Eye Institute, Dr. Schwartz has published over 250 peer-reviewed papers, trained more than 60 vitreoretinal fellows, and delivered prestigious international lectures including the Royal Society of Medicine and The Emperor’s Lecture in Tokyo.
