Paolo Antonio S. Silva, MD is Staff Ophthalmologist and Co-Chief of Telemedicine at the Beetham Eye Institute of the Joslin Diabetes Center. He holds an academic appointment as Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Silva's work is focused on innovative and investigative work at a field that is at the intersection of clinical care and technology with the hope of providing an ideal model for the delivery of evidence based highly effective and efficient diabetes eye care to the population that needs it the most. His interests include ocular telemedicine, anti-angiogenic therapeutic modalities for diabetic retinal disease, wide-field retinal imaging to identify novel retinal lesions, development of decision-support algorithms through clinical outcome analysis and telemedicine approaches for diabetic retinal disease. Dr. Silva actively directs the efforts of the Joslin Vision Network to the ultimate goal of delivering the highest quality of diabetes eye care and promoting collaborative research that is free from disparities induced by geographic, political, or cultural boundaries.
