Steven D. Vold's research focuses on the evaluation and treatment of glaucoma, a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve. His work has investigated various surgical and pharmacological interventions aimed at reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) and preserving vision in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Recent publications include studies comparing the efficacy of the ab-externo microShunt to trabeculectomy, and the outcomes of combining canaloplasty and trabeculotomy with phacoemulsification. He has also published on the safety and efficacy of the travoprost intraocular implant for reducing the need for topical IOP-lowering medications. Additionally, his research has involved the development and application of patient-reported outcome measures, such as vision-targeted health-related quality-of-life surveys, to assess the impact of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery.

Vold's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 23, with 67 total publications and 2,208 total citations. He is designated as a highly cited researcher and has remained recently active in his field.
