Research into tear-film dysfunction, ocular surface disease, inflammation, Meibomian gland dysfunction, non-invasive biomarkers and emerging therapeutic strategies.
How can tear-film and ocular surface dysfunction be characterised objectively, and which measurable signals predict symptoms, disease progression and response to treatment?
Ocular surface disease is among the most frequent reasons for an eye-care consultation, yet signs and symptoms are often poorly correlated. Better biomarkers mean earlier diagnosis and more targeted treatment.
We combine non-invasive imaging of the tear film and Meibomian glands, clinical phenotyping, quantitative image analysis and prospective clinical studies in university and hospital settings.
Objective, reproducible endpoints for clinical practice and for the evaluation of new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.
