Department of Ophthalmology

Our research group is composed of ophthalmic surgeons, resident ophthalmologists, post-graduate students and basic scientists.

My personal research interests include glaucoma and oculoplastics.

Clinical and basic science research projects for both areas are organised.   Also,  we often encounter interesting cases on both glaucoma and oculoplastics and publish related case reports or case series.

Methodology

  • Patient recruitment and examinations as well as data collection are performed at our department.
  • Co-operation with other department for further analysis

Current Research Projects

  • Project 1:
    Differences in IOP measurements by different methods in various forms of glaucoma
  • Project 2:
    Volumetric measurements for the orbit and intraorbital structures with clinical correlations
  • Project 3:
    Elastographic imaging of ocular and periocular tissues
  • Project 4:
    Evaluation of growth factor involvement in ophthalmic pterygium
  • Project 5:
    Assessment of functional epiphora with magnetic resonance dacryocystography
