Our laboratory focuses on developing novel
retinal imaging techniques that allows us to see beyond the anatomical structures.
Key Results and Achievements • Reduced diagnostic screening cost 30 % monthly through implementation of a modern computerized
retinal imaging technique • Identified a case of genetic Glaucoma and referred the patient to an Eye Clinic for treatment
Not exact matches
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a high - resolution live
imaging technique that can be used for early detection of
retinal diseases, such as age - related macular degeneration, diabetes - related conditions, glaucoma or vascular occlusions, for example.
The testing schedule in New Zealand, limited at first, expanded as they added new
techniques and technologies, such as DNA analysis,
retinal imaging (which can help gauge the brain's vascular health), and scans of brain activity.
These range from visual stimulation experiments that allow us to tap into the specific sets of
retinal ganglion cells that are most vulnerable early in the disease, to the evolution of new
imaging techniques, largely thanks to Alf Dubra and Vivek Srinivasan's work in those areas, and the ability to image
retinal ganglion cells and their component parts like their axons which degenerate very early in glaucoma.
RPB investigators are using Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography, a new high definition and high speed
imaging technique, to study the drainage channels in different types of glaucoma, and also to study
retinal tissue loss to detect early glaucoma in people at risk.
