Arthur Sit

Arthur Sit, MD, FAAO, is an Associate Professor, Glaucoma Fellowship Director, and Vice Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at the Mayo Clinic. With a master's degree in mechanical engineering from MIT as well as a medical degree, his research interests focus on aqueous humor dynamics, the variations in intraocular pressure, ocular biomechanics, the role of intracranial pressure in glaucoma, and novel technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma. Recently, this has included the development of a novel device for the measurement of episcleral venous pressure, and a novel device for in vivo assessment of ocular biomechanical properties. Current research also includes investigation of the effects of low ICP on optic nerve configuration, and mechanisms of action of novel pharmacotherapies.
