Impacting vision from cell to society
Students in the vision science graduate program at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ's School of Optometry and Vision Science specialize in one of the following areas.
Fundamental biosciences
Examining the processes that form the basis of vision.
- Ocular research (physiology, anatomy, mechanisms of disease)
- Technology development (drug delivery systems / materials research, optical devices and instruments)
- Systems engineering (new imaging instruments, AI, innovations in visual function and disease detection)
Applied studies
Applying scientific discoveries made in the lab to the development of trials and studies.
- Human clinical studies (myopia control, optical devices, amblyopia, med-tech)
- Vision rehabilitation (low vision, amblyopia, traumatic brain injury / concussion)
- Imaging mechanisms in human ocular disease (space-associated neuro syndrome, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma)
- Knowledge translation, data science
Societal impact
Transforming scientific results into new treatments and approaches to care, improving the health of the population.
- Education / knowledge mobilisation (public, optometric, interprofessional)
- Quality of life (clinical care, service provision)
- Equitable access to care (government policy, public health systems)
- Tele-optometry / imaging / AI
