Funded Activity Summary

Eye injury is the leading cause of monocular blindness internationally. Vision loss has devastating consequences, both financial and social. My research aims to develop a comprehensive international register for eye injury. Working with key international partners we will conduct a large-scale retrospective review to validate our data collection tool. Our aim is to revise outdated methods of scoring eye injury to better predict outcomes and improve management and treatment of eye injury.
