Shadow

We use computer vision to characterize the movement of the cornea. A picture is worth a thousand words—and modern image algorithms can read every one of them.

Simulation

IRB approval can be a long process, and subjects are in short supply. We seek to make experimentation easier with the aid of finite element analysis and optical raytracing.

Tails

Modern noncontact tonometry relies on a blast of air to get its results—but does it have to? We're looking for a better balance between a breeze and a blast.
