Human precorneal tear film and lipid layer dynamics in meibomian gland dysfunction

This study evaluates the precorneal tear film (PCTF) and lipid layer (TFLL) thicknesses and thinning rates in meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) using a combined ultra-high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) and thickness dependent fringe (TDF) interferometry system.

Flash VEP in Clinically Stable Pre-Term and Full-Term Infants

Preterm infants, although clinically stable, are at risk of abnormal visual pathway development.

Physiological responses of human retina and choroid to retinal image defocus, Implications for myopia

This thesis uses advanced imaging and electrophysiology techniques to investigate the in vivo phsiological responses of human retina and choroid to retinal image defocus and improves our understanding the mechanistic basis of myopia.

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.

Data from this study indicate that knowledge about the local characteristics and aetiological categorisation of the causes of low vision are essential in tackling paediatric visual impairment. The findings also signify the importance of early intervention to ensure a better quality of life.

Visual deficits in Nepalese patients with oculocutaneous albinism

Patients with OCA present with a broad spectrum of visual deficits that impair the visual functions. Significant improvement in visual acuity following optical correction serves as an impetus to the reduction of visual disabilities in individuals with albinism.
