==Research==
Dr. Schuman and his colleagues were the first to identify a molecular marker for human glaucoma. This discovery was published in Nature Medicine in 2001. The National Eye Institute has funded Schuman as a principal investigator since 1995.
Joel Schuman, along with Eric Swanson, James Fujimoto, Carmen Puliafito and David Huang, invented the optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology. This technology, allows a quick and noninvasive 3D map of the eye, in particular the retina. It is one of the tools available for early detection of eye diseases such as glaucoma, along with macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. More than 20,000 of these machines are used daily throughout the world.
