Advancing Glaucoma Care

My work with the University of Liverpool's Biomechanical Engineering Group focused on improving glaucoma diagnosis. Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, has long been challenged by the difficulty of accurately measuring intra-ocular pressure due to the cornea's variability.

We developed a new technique that enhances the precision of these measurements, which has been incorporated into diagnostic devices used worldwide. This method helps in reducing the risk of misdiagnosis and improving treatment outcomes for glaucoma patients.

Our research also extends to other eye conditions, such as keratoconus and ectasia, contributing to a broader understanding and management of these diseases.

The impact of our work is practical: it offers doctors better tools for diagnosis and treatment, potentially reducing the economic strain on healthcare systems and improving patient care. As we continue our research, including participation in projects like IMCUSTOMEYE, our goal remains to refine and expand the use of non-invasive diagnostic methods in ophthalmology.
