RESEARCH INTERESTS:
My current research interest is related with the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of normal tension glaucoma. Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disorder of the optic nerve, characterized by accelerated retinal ganglion cell death, subsequent axonal loss, optic nerve damage and eventual blindness. The morphological changes in the optic nerve are often asymptomatic and undetectable with conventional diagnostic methods. New imaging technologies are now available to diagnose glaucoma, including Heidelberg Retina Tomography (HRT), time-domain and more recently the spectral-domain Optical Coherence Tomography. Our goal is by using these novel imaging technologies to find and describe morphological features of the optic nerve which are characteristic of glaucoma and can be used to distinguish glaucomatous optic nerve damage from non-glaucomatous changes

In the past, I was involved in many different research projects, including corneal endothelial cell transplantation, corneal wound healing, the physical characterization of excimer lasers etc.
