A Leader in Glaucoma Care, Research, and Education

He has produced and been featured in news segments and public service announcements that have achieved national media distribution. One, created with the late actress Kitty Carlisle Hart, resulted in thousands of Americans receiving free educational materials about glaucoma.

Dr. Harmon has also conducted glaucoma screenings among high-profile populations such as the New York Yankees and Mets, as well as within major corporations. He has written patient education guides, contributed to textbooks, and published in peer-reviewed medical journals.
