Tony Realini, MD, MPH attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for his undergraduate education, medical school, internship and residency, followed by a one-year fellowship in glaucoma at the University of Louisville, studying under glaucoma specialists Thom Zimmerman, MD, PhD and Robert Fechtner, MD. He also received an MPH degree from the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public Health in 2010.

He currently serves as the study chair for the multicenter randomized COAST trial (Clarifying the Optimal Application of SLT Therapy), which seeks to establish the optimal energy and repeat interval for primary selective laser trabeculoplasty in newly-diagnosed and treatment-naïve patients with mild-moderate primary open-angle glaucoma or high risk ocular hypertension.
