of premier care. However, it is the
ability to interpret and apply this
wonderful technology that makes all
the difference in the world."
Dr. Barnebey has always empha-
sized the importance of education,
medical innovation, and expanded
biomedical research. Throughout
his career, he has been dedicated
to providing the finest care pos-
sible through safer, less invasive,
and more effective treatments that
improve the quality of life in his
patients. He has been a leading con-
tributor to ophthalmology since the
early 1980s, publishing articles in
major medical journals such as the
Journal of Glaucoma and the Ameri-
can Journal of Ophthalmology. While
he treats thousands of glaucoma and
cataract patients each year, he never
forgets the importance of treating
each patient with complete individ-
ual focus.
He is 1 of only a few ophthal-
mologists in the Northwest who is a
cataract surgeon trained in the sub-
specialty of interventional ophthal-
mology, performing canaloplasty
using micro-catheter technology to
open and stent the natural filtration
canal in the eye. EW

"control" in the glaucoma patient
and discuss therapeutic options for
short- and long-term management.
The technician's role, as well as the
role of imaging and perimetry, will
be reviewed.
"I think that our eyes are the
windows to the world, and they
deserve special attention," Dr.
Barnebey said. "Glaucoma is a
specialty where details make all the
difference. The difference between
perfect vision and poor vision
is often measured in microns or
