Professor Charles McMonnies
MSc UNSW, ASTC
Research Description:
- Study of mechanisms for adverse corneal responses to rubbing-related mechanical trauma.
- Examination of the role of intraocular pressure spiking in pressure-related diseases such as keratoconus, glaucoma and axial myopia.
- Blinking mechanisms and the role of incomplete blinking in dry eye and other forms of ocular surface disease.
