Mentee Spotlight: Pedro Henrique Oliveria Ribeiro

As part of the WGA Associate Advisory Board Research Mentorship Program Pedro Henrique Oliveria Ribeiro is investigating how advanced OCT measurements may improve the early detection of glaucoma and help distinguish preperimetric glaucoma from healthy eyes.

His research focuses on identifying imaging biomarkers that could support earlier diagnosis and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

“The mentorship program has been extremely valuable in expanding my research knowledge and improving the quality of the study.”

We’re proud to support researchers helping shape the future of glaucoma care.
