The relative contributions of optical and neural factors to thedecrease in visual function with age is also an important area of interest.120
During the period 2007-2008, the changes in spatial summation and resolution acuity with age for both chromatic andachromatic stimuli were investigated in order to reveal the mechanisms of neural loss with age and in glaucoma. Theresults were compared with structural measurements involving novel imaging methods to assess retinal structureand integrity. The work has been undertaken in collaboration with Moorfields Eye Hospital. Studies of Ageing ingeneral and Vision Ageing in particular are among the main national/international research priorities. The resultsof the glaucoma study are already attracting interest from both scientists and clinicians due to the impact that theresearch would have on detection of glaucoma.The results of the above studies were reported at both national and international conferences as listed below:RO Beirne, L McIlreavy, S Gore, MB Zlatkova; Age-related lens yellowing per se contributes little to the increase inFarnsworth-Munsell 100 hue error scores with age; Ophthalmic & Physiological Optics, 2008, 28 (1), p. 96.
