Research Overview & Focus

The researcher’s work focuses on advancing knowledge in ocular surface and contact lens health, particularly examining conditions like dry eye disease, low vision services, and myopia in Ghana. They also investigate ophthalmology topics such as demographics of myopia, awareness and preventive practices, and barriers to their provision in Ghana. Their research extends into glaucoma and retinal disorders across sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on diagnostic practice profiling and cross-sectional surveys. Additionally, they explore ergonomics and musculoskeletal disorders in the eyes, including issues with ocular surface health and human factors. The researcher’s broader research interests encompass improving ocular surface health through education, healthcare guidelines, and technology integration, as well as examining myopia knowledge and awareness across diverse populations and educational contexts.
