ABOUT ME

 

Biography

Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the School of Optometry and Vision Science, UNSW.

Dr Boon graduated in optometry and vision science and was awarded her PhD in the electrophysiological and psychophysical development of colour vision from from the University of New South Wales, Sydney. Her postdoctoral research studies were at Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, in the prevention of injuries of older people with visual impairment and low vision. Her research areas include the development of objective visual electrophysiology analysis techniques, their relationship with perception, visual perception in the developing (children's vision encompassing amblyopia) and the ageing visual system as well as low vision and visual impairment. Dr Boon is a member of the Optometrists Association Australia, a fellow of the American Academy of Optometry. Dr Boon has served as Director of the Optics and Radiometry Laboratory from 2016-2020. She currently serves as a member of the Early Intervention and Prevention working committee of Vision2020 (the Australian peak body for eye and vision care in Australia), Australian Standards and represents Australia on the International Organization for Standardization

RESEARCH

 

Research Goals

My research is focused on improving visual health in children and adults with visual conditions such as amblyopia, convergence insufficiency, diabetes and low vision.

 

Research in Detail

Optimising visual electrophysiology techniques 

Visual electrophysiology allows us to study processing at the level of the retina (Electroretinograms) as well as the visual cortex (visual evoked potentials). They offer a direct insight into the function of the visual system which is complementary to what can be learned using psychophysical techniques, which probe the relationship between physical stimulation and perception. Children's visual processing is particularly challenging to analyse as it is still developing so techniques used in adults cannot be interpreted similarly in children. Current research is aimed at characterising electrophysiological systems using both objective and manual techniques and understanding their relationship with perception. One arm of our research is looking at how best to differentiate between normally and abnormally developing systems. Main applications will be in paediatric optometry and ophthalmology, particularly in monitoring the effects of conventional and novel treatments for amblyopia. Major collaborators are paediatric ophthalmologists in Sydney and Singapore.

How psychophysics can be used to assess vision and progression of eye diseases 

Eye diseases examined include glaucoma, AMD, retinitis pigmentosa, diabetic retinopathy or vision loss due to occupational hazards such as exposure to organic solvents. Foci of research have centred on understanding how behavioural psychophysics can be used to assess  the vision and progression of eye diseases such as glaucoma, diabetes, AMD and retinitis pigmentosa or vision loss due to occupational hazards such as exposure to organic solvents. Current research emphasises the development and refinement of ability to assess contrast and colour sensitivity losses and their impact on complex behaviours which rely on these inputs, such as driving, walking and falls. One tool is the UNSW Colour Vision Suite (available on the iOS app store - see https://itunes.apple.com/mn/app/unsw-colour-vision-suite/id1436464364?mt=8), developed in conjunction with Dr Lakshmi Bodduluri, Emeritus Prof. Stephen Dain and Dr Malcolm Ryan (Department of Computing, Macquarie University).

How people with low vision interact with the built environment

Major national collaborators are Emeritus Prof. Stephen Dain (Optics and Radiatometry Laboratory, UNSW), Emeritus Prof. Catherine Bridge (Faculty of the Built Environment), Prof. Gregg Suaning and Dr Marc Zapf (Australian Vision Prosthesis Group, UNSW), Prof. John Grigg (Save Sight Institute), Mark Relf (Access Consultant and Standards Australia committee member). The projects arising from these collaborations include how people with low vision interact with the built environment and how visual prostheses, such as the bionic eye, or building specifications may be used to improve this interaction. 

Low vision rehabilitation referral pathways, timing and accessibility

Dr Mei Ying Boon and Associate Professor Isabelle Jalbert have been working on ways to improve low vision rehabilitation referral pathways and timing using Australia as a model. A large part of this work is focussed on injury prevention in older people with vision impairment so as to raise quality of life and function. Health promotion strategies to assist clinicians are a more recent focus in this work. Major collaborators are Dr Byoung Sun Chu (Visiting Fellow, UNSW) and Emeritus Prof. Catherine Bridge (Faculty of the Built Environment, UNSW) and Prof. Lisa Keay.

Vision training and plasticity of the visual system

This research aims to understand normal and abnormal visual development, particularly in relation to amblyopia, the treatment response and visual system plasticity, with the aim of improving vision. Major collaborators are based in Sydney, London, Singapore, San Francisco and Stanford.
