My team's theoretical and clinical research approach is based on the use of descriptive and predictive mathematical modeling. This has recently been complemented with AI-related resources such as supervised and unsupervised learning. Our goal is twofold: (1) to better understand data collected using biometric and imaging techniques and (2) to increase the diagnostic accuracy or effectiveness of corrective and refractive therapeutic solutions. Thus far, the models and techniques have been applied mainly to refractive surgery, topography and corneal imaging for keratoconus screening, ocular wavefront description, complex optical comparison and design in cataract surgery, ocular biometry, and IOL calculation. The improvements to diagnostic tools include screening or characterization of keratoconus, corneal edema, and ocular wavefront; the improvements to therapeutic tools include ablation profiles, IOL calculations, and diffractive optics.
