Research
Over 16 years, CFEH has examined more than 65,000 individual patients, all with diagnosed or suspected ocular disease. Access to this extensive patient database has provided researchers with a wealth of imaging and data, allowing publication of 168 peer-reviewed papers in leading journals and contributing to the advancement of the existing knowledge base.
The ultimate goal of CFEH research activities has been to reduce the incidence of preventable blindness from chronic eye conditions such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy within the community. Research has been focused on the early detection of eye disease and development of innovative new referral pathways.
The CFEH research team has worked in collaboration with investigators from a variety of other disciplines including optometry, ophthalmology, visual science and public health.
