Research interests

The through-line of the work is the retina and how we image it. Recent papers examine how the retina shifts after detachment repair, how patients themselves rate the outcome of vitreoretinal surgery, and the everyday value of ultrasound B-scan when the retina cannot be seen directly.

Beyond the named papers above, the practice’s research also spans OCT angiography of the retinal and choroidal circulation and corneal cross-linking for keratoconus — described here topically rather than listed, so that only verified, published titles appear as citations.
