• Item No Preview Available Investigating Diagnostic and Drug Efficacy Retinal Biomarkers in Parkinson’s Disease Tran, Katie Khanh Ngoc ( 2023-08 ) Given the eye is an embryological outpouching of the brain, there is growing interest in the characterisation of retinal biomarkers in neurodegenerative disease to better facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment. Recent studies report a number of visual symptoms in people living with Parkinson's disease (PD), lending evidence to support the need to prioritise non-motor manifestations of PD, given that some precede the onset of motor decline by years if not decades. The retina offers a unique opportunity to directly visualise structural and functional changes in neurons that occur with PD pathogenesis. The development of non-invasive and relatively inexpensive retinal assessment modalities such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and electroretinography (ERG) has enabled clinicians and researchers to assess these in vivo changes in people living with PD and in animal models of PD. However, the pathological mechanisms underlying visual and retinal dysfunction in PD remain incompletely understood. The overarching aim of this thesis was to explore and investigate retinal changes in function and structure that occur in people living with PD and a Parkinson’s disease rodent model, and to consider if such in vivo measures are sensitive to acute levodopa (L-DOPA) treatment. Using the A53T transgenic (Tg) mouse model of alpha-synuclein (a-syn) overexpression, we demonstrate that the accumulation of phosphorylated (pSer129) a-syn in outer retinal layers was correlated with cone photoreceptor dysfunction and degeneration. We speculate that this association between pSer129 a-syn and dysfunction may be related to an underlying pathophysiology. Moreover, we show that acute L-DOPA treatment can dynamically ameliorate retinal deficits in function in A53T Tg animals. As a proof of principle in translation, we evaluate changes in retinal function and structure in clinical Parkinson's disease, before and after single doses of L-DOPA following partial washout conditions. While no ameliorative effects were observed post L-DOPA treatment in this pilot study, PD participants had altered cone photoreceptor function and structure compared to age-matched controls, as indicated by poorer colour vision performance, reduced macular visual field sensitivity, and attenuated light-adapted a-wave and b-wave amplitudes. Overall, this body of work deepens our understanding of outer retinal changes in function and structure, driven in part by abnormal a-syn deposition, that occur in Parkinson's disease. Collectively, these findings provide further insight into dopamine and alpha-synuclein interactions in the retina as well as highlighting the utility of outer retinal measures as effective biomarkers for future application to Parkinson’s disease medical research and drug discovery.

• Item No Preview Available Functional and structural adaptations to ageing and acute intraocular pressure elevation in mouse retina Lee, Pei Ying ( 2021 ) In response to stress, neurons undergo a series of adaptations, which include changes to their synapses, dendrites and eventually axons and cell bodies. One might presume that such stress responses help to prevent cell death, providing a window of time where recovery remains possible. As glaucoma is a disease of the ageing, it may be reasonable to suggest that older eyes somehow show poorer adaptations to stress or have reduced intrinsic abilities to detect pressure changes in their environment (e.g., via mechanosensitive channels such as transient receptor potential (TRP) channels), and thus less capacity to recover. Whilst support for these ideas can be gleaned from a range of studies in other systems including the central nervous system, there has been less work in this area in the context of glaucoma. The overarching aim of the thesis is to understand the functional and structural adaptations that occur in normal ageing, and to consider if such age-related changes modify the way that retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) cope with intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation. Using the mouse as a platform, it was possible to show that in normal ageing, there was a relative preservation of ganglion cell function despite an age-related decline in outer retinal responses. Age-related inner retinal functional adaptations were associated with increases in bipolar cell sensitivity to light and changes to RGC dendritic complexity. Ageing was also associated with slower recovery from a short period of controlled IOP elevation. IOP elevation resulted in smaller ON RGCs in both young and older mice. Importantly, analysis of RGC morphology showed that better functional recovery in younger eyes was associated with adaptations in OFF RGC dendrites, which was not observed in older eyes. The absence of RGC morphological adaptations following IOP elevation may account for the delayed recovery in older eyes. Furthermore, better ganglion cell functional recovery in younger eyes was also associated with TRPV4 upregulation in the ganglion cell layer. In contrast, there was TRPV4 downregulation in older eyes. Consistent with the importance of TRPV4 upregulation for recovery, inhibiting TRPV4 further worsened recovery in older eyes. This work advances our understanding of age-related functional and structural adaptations, providing insights into how normal function is maintained in ageing, with potential negative impacts on the capacity for RGCs to recover from IOP elevation.

List of Optometric Research Topics

Samantha hazard.

Optometric research may require you to focus on a topic, or to look at the whole picture. Since optometry is such a broad science, the choice of a singular topic may be more difficult than meets the eye. You may have to observe optometry as a whole before you can use your acute sense of perception to see what you really wish to research. Observe and choose from the many great topics around you.

Explore this article

• Vision Impairment and Chronic Disease
• Behavioral Optometry
• Optometric Medication
• Correlation Between Myopia (or Hyperopia) and Astigmatism

1 Vision Impairment and Chronic Disease

Some chronic diseases, such as multiple sclerosis or diabetes, can cause vision loss. While "vision impairment" may be defined as the partial or total loss of vision, chronic disease is a disease that is long-lasting or recurrent. Since both vision impairment and chronic disease may be lifelong impairments, it may be interesting to research either the correlation between one or some chronic diseases and vision loss, the long-term effects of the conjunction, or how treating one may help or impair the other.

2 Behavioral Optometry

Behavioral optometry is a line of optometry that believes in a holistic approach to vision and studies how the eyes and the brain interact to create and train vision, hold "mental pictures," and perceive the world around us. A study in 1945 at Johns Hopkins University deemed the practice of behavioral optometry "was of no value for the treatment of myopia (nearsightedness)." Since this study, however, researchers, optometrists and psychologists have begun to study and practice the use of behavioral optometry with children with ADD and ADHD, to help them narrow their focus and keep their eyes from wandering. This is a strong research topic because there is a lot of information on the spectrum of whether or not behavioral optometry actually works.

3 Optometric Medication

This topic may sound self-explanatory since you can research myriad optometric medications and their uses. However, the topic offers a chance to read and research deeper. Ocular medications may only treat one symptom, like IOP (intraocular pressure), but leave out treatments of other serious problems such as OHT (ocular hypertension). What are scientists and optometrists doing to treat a whole problem (in this case, glaucoma)? Is one symptom more easily treated or more important to be treated than another? Medication in general, just as optomology, is a multi-vectored science and both offer a great research topic.

4 Correlation Between Myopia (or Hyperopia) and Astigmatism

Have you noticed that myopia or hyperopia often occur in conjunction with astigmatism? While myopia and hyperopia are both refractive errors in the eye, and astigmatism is caused by an abnormal corneal curvature, both have to do with the stress on the eye and the ocular muscles surrounding it. This makes a great research topic not only because these conditions affect large populations, but also because researching these correlations offers several topics, including the origin and/or treatment of the conditions.

Research Topics

The Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences offers medical students and residents a variety of research opportunities. Please browse the basic science, translational and clinical research projects currently underway below.

Research Topic: Corneal endothelial health judged by endothelial image analysis

Description.

Endothelium is critical for dehydrating the cornea and keeping it clear. With loss of its barrier and pump function, the cornea swells and corneal transplantation may be needed.

Changes in the number, shape and size of the cells may predict loss of function.

Key Research Question/Hypothesis 

Effect of drugs, surgery, devices, and preservation media on the endothelium.

Images of the endothelium captured with either a specular or confocal microscope that can take repeated pictures of the endothelial cells non-invasively in patients. Once images are captured, they can be analyzed with special software in the Cornea Image Analysis Reading Center (CIARC) of the Department.

Student learn these techniques working with both patients and technicians, depending on the project.

Ongoing projects.

Status of IRB/IACUC approval

Image analysis studies in CIARC approved; ongoing projects have IRB approval. If launching a new project, IRB approval will need to be obtained.

Prospects for Publishing and Presenting

Excellent; we have a long track record of publications in major journals and presentations at national and international conferences.

Their developments in preventing vision loss and blindness have the potential to save the vision of millions of people worldwide.

Clinical optics and myopia

Through cutting-edge clinical optics research, our faculty are improving the vision and clinical care of patients at our own clinics and around the world. We often work closely with the leading members of the contact lens and vision care industry to develop novel, improved optical designs and safer, more efficient contact lenses.

Low vision and mobility

Loss of peripheral vision, low vision, balance problems, and contrast sensitivity all affect a patient’s daily quality of life. Through research, we’re advancing visual rehabilitation methods for patients who are elderly, visually impaired, or blind.

Pediatric vision

Our research leads to earlier detection of pediatric eye problems, such as amblyopia (or “lazy eye”), and easier treatments for children and their parents. We are also working toward understanding and preventing permanent vision loss in children.

Traumatic brain injury

The eyes are a window into concussions and other traumatic brain injuries, and our researchers are focused on diagnosing and managing those injuries before they cause significant damage.

Collaborative research labs

In addition to our individual successes in faculty research, we foster a collaborative research environment to accomplish the broadest scope of research with optimized research success and productivity.

For example, the Clinical Optics Research Lab (CORL) —dedicated to improving the vision and clinical care of patients through cutting-edge research—is a result of the efforts of several IU School of Optometry faculty members.

Our research helps the world see more clearly.

The Journal of Optometry (J Optom) is the scientific double blind peer-reviewed publication of the Spanish General Council of Optometry ( www.cgcoo.es ). Audience of J Optom includes optometrists, ophthalmologists and visual scientists, other professionals and researchers with interests in vision and the eye as well as undergraduate and post-graduate students in those fields. The J Optom welcomes the submission of original manuscripts, reviews, case reports and scientific letters describing clinical and experimental research in all fields related with the eye and vision. Journal of Optometry is an open access journal that publishes articles in English.

Indexed in:

Web of Science, Clarivate Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) Pubmed/Medline, Pubmed/Pubmed Central, Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud, CrossRef, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Index Copernicus, National Library of Medicine Catalog (NLM Catalog), SCImago Journal Rank, Google Scholar and Scopus

The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. © Clarivate Analytics, Journal Citation Reports 2022

CiteScore measures average citations received per document published.

SRJ is a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are the same. SJR uses a similar algorithm as the Google page rank; it provides a quantitative and qualitative measure of the journal's impact.

SNIP measures contextual citation impact by wighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field.

In the last years, the number of optometrists publishing research works in journals with high impact factor has increased significantly. However, this increase in the quantity of researchers in Optometry has not been accompanied by a growing number of scientific journals on Optometry. There is still the habit of sending scientific optometric manuscripts to high-factor Ophthalmology journals with the aim of obtaining a better recognition of the efforts performed by the researchers and achieving a more significant spreading of the scientific content. This facilitates the consolidation of a great amount of Ophthalmology journals, a growing number of journals in the field and subsequently a stagnation or even reduction of the impact factor of the limited number of scientific journals in Optometry 1 , 2 . Optometry researchers need recognized journals where reporting the outcomes of their investigations. This is one of the aims of Journal of Optometry , the scientific peer-reviewed publication of the Spanish General Council of Optometrists.

Several European journals on vision and Ophthalmology are currently available. Each year they published a lot of articles that show the results of Optometric investigations, such as the developments of new tests for measuring visual acuity or contrast sensitivity, the validation of several diagnostic devices that are mainly used by optometrists, epidemiologic studies about refractive errors, the characterization of ocular aberrations in different types of populations, changes in binocular vision after some refractive surgery treatments, or the analysis of the outcomes with specific types of contact lenses. All this research is the result of our knowledge, with or without the input of other scientific areas. Therefore, it seems more coherent to fit all this scientific content in Optometry journals. The problem arises when attempting to find an Optometry journal in Europe with impact factor. American and Australian institutions are the most productive centers of optometric research and receive the highest average number of citations/year 3 . Furthermore, the highest impact factor of Optometry journals corresponds to two journals from United States of America (USA) and New Zealand, respectively ( Optometry and Vision Science / Clinical and Experimental Optometry ) 4 . We are working hard from the Journal of Optometry in the attempt of developing a high quality journal on Optometry that may be a reference of the European Optometry. However, to achieve this aim raw material is needed, researches in Optometry.

The research is a challenge and a chance to show everyone the scientific potential of optometrists. It allows us to improve our clinical procedures and protocols, to implement functional therapies, to expand our knowledge. Research is the future of our profession; it will lead us to an even higher recognition and to a better professional position; it will lead us to a more optimized clinical practice. Research is the result of the power of our knowledge and also a source for new inspiration and advances. If we do our own research we are by definition the leaders in all of those efforts, from the bench to the chair side. Therefore, the development of Optometry research is a critical factor for the future of our profession. The support from governments and universities for Optometry research is crucial in the same manner that the research in other sciences is supported 5 , 6 . Furthermore, we need our platform for reporting our research, more journals with impact factor in Optometry.

Optometrist researchers should contribute to Optometry journals in order to make them greater, to increase the impact factor of the current available journals, and to develop our profession. One excellent opportunity for this contribution to Optometry research and to show our great potential is the next Special Issue of Journal of Optometry (July-September 2012). This issue entitled “New technologies and diagnostic tools in Optometry” will provide an overview of recent researches about the development, validity, and clinical applicability evaluation of new technologies in the context of our profession. International leading scientists in the Optometry field will participate as Topical Editor (Sitiris Plainis, Greece) and Guest Editors (Alejandro Cerviño, Spain, and Hema Radhakrishnan, UK) in this important issue. Submission deadline for this issue is 31st March 2012.

There are still thousands of questions without answer in Optometry that represents our future and the advance of vision care. The luxury of getting to answer those questions makes for a great job and ultimately a great profession of Optometry.

The Optometry lives in its own research.

Current Topics in Eye Research

This article is only available in the PDF format. Download the PDF to view the article, as well as its associated figures and tables.

This series continues to present basic research topics to the ophthalmic community. Some of the chapters are difficult reading for anyone not well grounded in biochemistry or molecular biology. The article most pertinent to clinical ophthalmology is by Ronald A. Laing of Boston University on specular microscopy of the cornea. The chapter by Eugene Copeland of Woods Hole, Mass, on the eyes of fish is also fascinating reading. Who would have thought only ten years ago that the oxygen tension in the retinal area of fish is ten times that of the blood in other organs (the swim bladder excepted). The chapter on accommodation in vertebrates by J. G. Sivak of Waterloo, Ontario, is as complete a survey as you can hope for.
