Bio

A lecturer in Clinical Optometry at the School of Optometry and Vision Science, University of Cape Coast with 16 years of professional and academic experience. My research focus has been on the pathophysiology and management of glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy as well as devising patient-centered interventions that improve success of treatments in eye care.
Recent research has been centered on leveraging AI and Big Data to improve diagnostic accuracy in potentially blinding ocular disease as well as the socio-economic impact of these diseases on the Ghanaian society and the wider African population.
Community Outreach programs that I am interested in have included a glaucoma patient support initiative which seeks to provide clinical counseling for people living with glaucoma with a particular focus on developing efficient support systems for sufferers of the disease in order to ease the psychological burden of the disease on sufferers.
