George Baerveldt, M.B.Ch.B., was a Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of California, Irvine.

Baerveldt developed[1] and held four patents related to the Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant, a device for the drainage of excess fluid from the eye in complex cases of glaucoma.

Professor Baerveldt was also one of the inventors of the Trabectome, a device for minimally-invasive glaucoma surgery.

Dr. Baerveldt died on April 13, 2021, while recuperating from vascular surgery.[2]
