RESEARCH

Researching the accommodative mechanism of the human eye, including changes in the optical and physical properties of the human lens.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

• Gradient index model of the crystalline lens
• Gradient index (GRIN) exact differential ray-tracing.
• Etiology of presbyopia, myopia, lens paradox and age-related decline of human visual acuity.
