Clinical Expertise: Dr. Camp specializes in diagnosing and treating glaucoma in adults and children. He offers advanced medical and surgical treatments including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), glaucoma drainage devices, trabeculectomy, and laser procedures such as selective laser trabeculoplasty and laser peripheral iridotomy. He also provides cataract surgery with standard and premium lens implants, including toric and multifocal lenses.
Research & Academic Contributions: Dr. Camp has published more than 30 peer-reviewed research articles and presented his findings at national conferences. His research interests include the development of novel intraocular pressure measurement devices, personalized glaucoma treatment regimens, national and international eye health in underserved populations, and anterior and posterior glaucoma imaging techniques. He participates in clinical trials on innovative drugs and devices and has earned multiple awards for teaching medical students, residents and fellows.
Patient Care Philosophy: Dr. Camp is committed to providing compassionate, patient-focused care and helping patients make informed decisions about their eye health.
Major Research Areas
1. Electronic Health Records (EHR) in Ophthalmology
Dr. Camp has been a key contributor to several influential studies examining how EHR implementation affects clinical workflows in ophthalmology:
-
Impact of EHR on Trainee Time: Research examining how ophthalmology residents and fellows spend their time before and after EHR implementation in outpatient clinics, providing detailed second-by-second time-motion analysis
-
Paper-Based Clinical Workflows: Study assessing time requirements for patient encounters and after-hours documentation demands in paper-based ophthalmology practices, finding that paper-based documentation comprises a substantial portion of patient care time but is associated with minimal after-hours work
-
Promoting Face-to-Face Communication: Research on maintaining quality patient-physician communication during the electronic health record era in ophthalmology encounters
2. Glaucoma Clinical Research
Dr. Camp contributed to research on rates and patterns of diagnostic conversion from anatomical narrow angle to primary angle-closure glaucoma in the United States, helping identify factors that influence disease progression
3. Artificial Intelligence in Ophthalmology
ChatGPT in Ophthalmology: Co-authored a study analyzing ChatGPT's ability to respond to ophthalmic cases and generate clinical assessments, evaluating whether AI can "think like an ophthalmologist" and assessing ophthalmologists' abilities to distinguish between human-generated and AI-generated clinical discussions
4. Health Equity and Access to Care
Diabetic Retinopathy Screening: Research on evaluation and optimization of diabetic retinopathy screenings for uninsured Latinx patients in resource-limited student-run free clinics
5. Imaging and Diagnostic Technology
Research comparing novel ultra-widefield three-color scanning laser ophthalmoscope technology to other retinal imaging modalities for assessing chorioretinal lesions
Dr. Camp's research demonstrates a strong focus on improving clinical efficiency, healthcare equity, and the integration of new technologies in ophthalmology practice, with over 30 peer-reviewed publications to his credit.
