MPhil Optometry
Researchers in the Eye and Vision Sciences group work on basic science and clinical projects to improve our current understanding of the structure and function of the human visual system. Our PhD/MPhil Optometry programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve your understanding of Optometry.
Our postgraduate research in Optometry follows several key themes:
Function and Dysfunction
The measurement of functional loss in various ophthalmic conditions, along with the evaluation and development of measurement technologies forms the basis of this theme.
Visual Optics and Instrumentation
Optimal visual performance depends on the production and maintenance of a high-quality optical image on the central retina. In practice, the image may be degraded by refractive error, a failure to focus (accommodate) accurately, optical aberrations and scattering.
Ocular Imaging
Researchers in ocular imaging use a spectrum of innovative techniques to visualise the tissues of the eye, from the corneal layers to the retina and the optic nerve head.
Visual Psychophysics and Ocular Electrophysiology
Visual psychophysics explores the relationship between a range of visual stimuli and the sensations they evoke, whilst ocular electrophysiology investigates the signals passing along the visual pathway.
Low Vision
Research in low vision concentrates on the design of aids, training in their use, and the appropriate measurement of treatment outcomes.
Contact Lenses and the Cornea
Research into optimising the clinical performance of contact lenses and understanding the response of the ocular surface to contact lenses and their care solutions.
