Dr. Goldblatt and Dr. N. Timothy Peters were one of the first surgeons in New England to perform Glaukos iStent surgery on glaucoma patients during cataract procedures. For patients with combined cataract and open-angle glaucoma, iStent reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) by improving aqueous humor outflow. Inserted through a 1.5-mm corneal incision, iStent is the only FDA-approved device for the treatment of mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma.
Eyesight Ophthalmic Services and Clear Advantage Vision Correction Center are the first practices in New Hampshire to offer the first and only FDA approved crosslinking treatment for progressive keratoconus. The crosslinking system, KXL, is a medical procedure that combines the use of ultra-violet (UV) light and riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops. The procedure works by creating new bonds between corneal collagen fibers which leads to the stiffening of the cornea which have been weakened by disease.
Since 2005, Dr. Peters has been a principle investigator for numerous ophthalmic and refractive clinical research trials of all phases to help assist in the research and delivery of new ocular therapies and ocular devices.
Dr. Peters was born in St. Louis, Missouri. He graduated with honors from the University of California at Davis, and graduated from Baylor College of Medicine in 1995. His extensive post-graduate training includes an internship at the University of Hawaii and residency training at the University of California at Irvine.
