Education

Born and raised in Austria, Mansouri received his M.D. from the Medical University of Vienna in 2003, followed by residencies in ophthalmology at the University of Basel, the University of Geneva and the University of Lausanne, and a glaucoma fellowship at the Hamilton Glaucoma Center of the Shiley Eye Institute, UC San Diego Health.[3][4][5] He also earned a Masters in Public Health (2008) from the University of Geneva.[6][3]

Career

Mansouri is an expert in the field of continuous intraocular pressure (IOP) monitoring.[7] He pioneered the clinical development of the first smart contact lens for the continuous measurement of IOP (Sensimed Triggerfish, Switzerland),[8] as well as the Eyemate intraocular sensor (Implandata AG, Germany).[9] His other research activities include the development of new technologies in the field of glaucoma imaging and surgery.

He has co-authored over 400 peer-reviewed publications. He is on the editorial board of the “Journal of Glaucoma”, an associate editor of “Acta Ophthalmologica”, and is a contributing editor to the “International Glaucoma Review”.

He is the Founder and President of the Swiss Glaucoma Research Foundation.
