Myopia

MRI of blood flow in the human retina/choroid complex

The retina of the eye— one of the highly metabolic tissues in the body— relies upon an adequate supply of blood largely from choroidal circulation and to a small extent from retinal circulation for optimal retinal health. Impaired or reduced blood …

Effect of atropine on human multifocal electroretinogram responses to defocus

Despite the global use of atropine in myopia control, the mechanism by which atropine acts to inhibit the progression of myopia is still unclear. This study investigates the effect of atropine on the human global flash mfERG under conditions of …

Refractive Status in Nepalese Pre-Term and Full-Term Infants Early in Life

This study suggests that pre-term infants, even without retinopathy of prematurity, are at risk for abnormal refractive development and informs the need for close monitoring of refractive error in such infants, regardless of their retinopathy of prematurity status.

Effect of wavelength on achieving and maintaining emmetropia (PI, Tim Gawne)

This project aims to determine the operating characteristics of the tree shrew emmetropisation system in response to different light spectra.
