Research suggests that the choroid plays a major role in guiding axial eye growth. Using high resolution optical coherence tomography, this project investigates choroidal responses to imposed optical defocus and atropine eye drops in health and disease. For more...

This project investigates the mechanisms underlying atropine control of eye growth and myopia. Nightly instillation of atropine is the most successful treatment for inhibiting myopia progression at present. However, the site and mode of atropine’s actions are yet to...

Blue (short-wavelength) LED light suppresses the development of experimental myopia in the chick at apparently lower intensity levels than white LED light. This may be due to either the eye’s chromatic aberration focussing blue light in front of the retina, or through...

This project investigates blood perfusion changes in the choroid in relation to eye growth regulation and myopia. Recent evidence suggests that the human choroid has a remarkable ability to modulate its thickness to compensate for imposed refractive error. However,...
