Research Interests

My research interests centre on clinical Optometry with the main thrust of my research directed at the validation of new methods to facilitate quick and accurate clinical measurements of oculovisual parameters.

Current research endeavour is aimed at methods necessary for the detection and management of glaucoma including validating new techniques for assessing the intraocular pressure and determining the influence of normal protocols on the accuracy of the measured intraocular pressure. Other research is aimed at the continued search for rapid non-invasive methods for the assessment of anterior chamber depth to assist the detection and management of angle-closure glaucoma cases.
