Research Summary

(inferred from publications by AI)

The researcher primarily focuses on ergonomics and ergonomics-related studies, including issues related to computer vision syndrome, refractive disorders, and near visual device usage among Ghanaian staff. The field also encompasses assistive technology in communication and mobility, such as smartphone use by individuals with severe visual impairments. Additionally, the researcher examines ocular health and conditions within the Ghanaian population, covering various aspects like dry eye, contact lens assessment, and immunological studies. The work includes older adult driving trends, traffic safety measures, and public health initiatives in Ghana. There is a strong emphasis on ergonomics in relation to public health and individual development, including factors influencing optometry students to practice rural education. The researcher's research spans diverse areas from ergonomics to public health, encompassing issues in assistive technology, ophthalmology, traffic laws, and more.
