Research – Glaucoma

Glaucoma describes a group of potentially blinding ocular disorders. Approximately 70 million people worldwide have this disease, increasing to c. 80 million by 2020; of these, 8.4 million are bilaterally blind, increasing to 11.2 million by 2020.

Areas of concentration for Glaucoma Research:

1) Anterior segment/Trabecular meshwork biomechanics

2) Scleral biomechanics

3) Optic Nerve Head (ONH) biomechanics
