Research Interests

My main research interest is in human visual psychophysics and the ageing eye. I have been involved in a variety of laboratory-based and clinical studies of human visual function which have focused in particular on the normal short-wavelength visual system, how it is affected by age and the changes that can occur in the ocular diseases of glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. I am currently investigating the role of macular pigment and human visual performance in the normal eye.
