Our lab develops and uses adaptive optics techniques to study the eye and visual system. We are an interdisciplinary team of instrumentation, vision, and clinical scientists, who interested in the fundamentals of vision in both health and disease. We work in a range of disciplines including optical instrument development and control, data and image analysis, visual psychophysics and modelling, and we work closely with clinical partners in the Royal Victoria Infirmary.

Research areas

• Adaptive optics imaging for understanding diseases that manifest in the retina
• The control of eye movements and how this is disrupted by disease
• The impact of optical aberrations in the eye on everyday visual tasks
• Correlating structure and function in the retina, in relation to disease
• Simulation of retinal imaging and development of retinal image analysis software.
