The Department of Ophthalmology comprises
the largest single ophthalmic research
and teaching group in New Zealand. It
has close relations with NZ National Eye
Bank, Glaucoma New Zealand and the
editorial office of Clinical and Experimental
Ophthalmology, which are all located within
the department. It is a founding partner
of the New Zealand National Eye Centre
in conjunction with the Department of
Optometry and Vision Science.
The 50 plus member team includes a
number of ophthalmologists, optometrists
and laboratory scientists who pursue
research on a variety of projects, particularly;
computerised corneal topography, corneal
transplantation, in vivo and in vitro confocal
microscopy, aspects of refractive surgery,
orthokeratology, ocular therapeutics,
neuro-ophthalmology, glaucoma, diabetic
retinopathy, ocular malignancy, ocular
genetics, dry eye/tear film disorders, lens
transparency, the cell biology of ocular
healing and other aspects of translational
vision research. Collaborative research
has been established with vision research
cluster groups within Auckland University,
particularly the departments of Anatomy,
Optometry and Vision Science, Physiology,
and the School of Biological Sciences. The
Department has close ties with the Auckland
District Health Board and all ophthalmologists
in the team also have clinical contracts with
Auckland Hospital. Undergraduate and
postgraduate teaching is a major role of the
department particularly in respect to medical,
ophthalmology and optometry curricula.
Postgraduate research degrees, including
MSc, PhD and MD as well as courses towards
a Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma can
be pursued within the Department.
