Research Interests:
My research interests are in the fields of genetics of ocular disorders and ocular gene therapy.  I am also interested in ocular microbiology, epidemiological studies and ocular mathematical models.  Innovative techniques in ocular surgery along with ways to improve corneal transplantation and outcomes of refractive surgery including laser vision correction and LASIK have also been my interests.
