Research Areas

Study Portfolio

We oversee research that deals with both the medical and the surgical treatment of eye diseases, as well as optometry and visual rehabilitation and other key areas within the broader discipline of vision sciences. This means that we support a wide range of research studies such as those involving medicines and devices for diseases of the eye, those investigating childhood and inherited visual disorders, and studies of aids to help people with visual impairment.

These studies can focus on conditions such as:

  • Strabismus/paediatrics
  • Neuro-ophthalmology
  • Glaucoma
  • Retina (including diabetes)
  • Ocular Inflammation
  • Anterior Segment Cataract
  • Refraction optometry
