Specialist Facilities and Equipment
BSOVS has a unique research facility that links adaptive optics into myopia and oculomotor
research. We have two adaptive optics systems for examining accommodation and
oculomotor function in human observers. BSOVS staff and research students, in
collaboration with Queensland University of Technology, have also developed apparatus for
the assessment of peripheral refraction and off-axis ocular biometry. Current research
developments at BSOVS relate to the refinement of retinal imaging techniques for the
assessment of myopic eyes.
