Research in the group is focused on exploiting the potential of digital media, information technology (IT) and the communications revolution to create and implement state of the art outreach ophthalmic services for remote and rural communities, to develop cutting edge ophthalmic teaching services to provide excellence in education of future eye doctors, and to empower the community via the internet by providing interactive access to information about eye care and lifestyle choices which can help prevent eye disease. We are also researching digital simulations of traditional colour vision tests.
