Biography
He was a founding member of a new research group which has successfully developed a new technology for the measurement of visual fields in children. We have termed the technology “Saccadic Vector Optokinetic Perimetry.” There are currently seven researchers in the group. In addition to academic publications, the group holds a patent for the device, and a spin out company (i2i Diagnostics) has been formed. We are currently extending the development of the technology for use in infants, and in adult glaucoma patients.
