¿Qué aprenderé?

The School of Optometry is one of the five academic units in the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences and is a research hub in Optometry with international recognition. The School focuses on two research areas, namely myopia and the ageing eye. The aim of our myopia research is to unravel the cellular mechanism of myopia and develop clinical interventions to prevent and halt its development and progression. Our ageing eye research focuses on understanding the physiological ageing processes leading to vision loss and the pathogenesis of age-related eye diseases including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and retinal degeneration.

The School invites high calibre students with evidence of academic excellence, research ability and good communication skills to apply for Master of Philosophy (MPhil).

Ageing Eye Research

As people age, visual function often deteriorates and the risk of eye disorders and pathologies increases. Our goal is to find better ways to manage such eye conditions to preserve vision and independence. We are carrying out research in the following areas:

  • Dry eye and tear physiology
  • Glaucoma and aqueous humour dynamics
  • Ocular biomechanics
  • Retinal degeneration
