The Public Health and Health Systems Research Group at the School of Optometry & Vision Science is a diverse group of researchers united by our common goals of:
- Preventing vision impairment by improving access to eye care.
- Expanding innovative and cost-effective models of eye care delivery.
- Enhancing independence and quality of life of people affected by vision loss.
- Promoting evidence-based and patient-centred eye care.
Key skills and expertise within this research group include:
- Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
- Quantitative and Qualitative Methods.
- Systematic Reviews.
- Health Systems Research.
- Implementation Science.
- Advisory to government and peak professional bodies.
Our major areas of research include:
- Epidemiology of eye diseases in Australia.
- Epidemiology of corneal and contact lens related infection.
- Health outcomes and community costs of eye infections.
- Measurement of quality, access and delivery of eye care, by disadvantaged populations, school age children and people with low vision.
- Continuing education in optometry.
- Access to public cataract services.
- Mental health services for people with vision loss.
- Innovative models of eye care delivery including collaborative and integrated care for chronic eye diseases including age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.
