Research

This project will study the relationship between the three-dimensional optic nerve head (ONH) related structure and glaucoma. Our study will advance the current understanding of glaucoma pathogenesis and improve glaucoma diagnosis by gaining new insights into the structure-function relationships in glaucoma and establishing ocular anatomy specific norms of retinal nerve fiber layer profiles. Our research has high clinical relevance and can be potentially translated into clinical practice for better glaucoma diagnosis, monitoring and treatment.

Research progress in the last decade has informed of us that central vision can be damaged even in the early stage of glaucoma. This project will investigate the diagnostic utilities of macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans in glaucoma. We will build artificial intelligence models using macular OCT scans to predict glaucoma progression.

Glaucoma is a major cause of irreversible blindness but can be addressed with early detection, but existing tests can be tiring and difficult and require specialized equipment. We develop an entirely novel approach to glaucomatous vision testing which is kinetic, binocular and based on neuroscientific models.

In this project, we will develop statistical models to predict functional progression in glaucoma.
