Research

A primary focus of our lab is to understand the role of abnormal neural circuits that drive the visual function deficits observed in strabismus, amblyopia and nystagmus and to investigate newer treatment strategies.

One of the goals of the lab is to use eye movements as an objective tool that can be useful for diagnosis of abnormal eye oscillations and nystagmus. We have published several papers describing strabismus and abnormal eye oscillations in a variety of neurologic diseases such as ataxias, cerebellar atrophy, stroke and Parkinson’s Disease.  We have designed customized friendly infra-structure that allows us to measure eye and head movements in young children including infants and toddlers.  The recent work from our lab has shown that eye movement recordings could be a useful adjunct tool in management of strabismus and amblyopia. We are also developing AI algorithms that can be trained on the visual functions and objective eye movement data that can facilitate diagnosis.

A second overarching goal it to identify disease biomarkers that can explain the variable treatment response post strabismus surgery and amblyopia treatment. The work from our lab has shown that patients with certain eye movement abnormalities for example patients with latent nystagmus are more likely to have suboptimal treatment response. We also have cutting-edge equipment that allows us to measure eye movements in children under dichoptic environment to better understand the variable response  with newer amblyopia binocular treatments.
