Professor Dame Helen Danesh-Meyer is a globally recognised New Zealand ophthalmologist, academic, and leading authority in glaucoma, neuro‑ophthalmology, and optic nerve research. She is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in eye health both in New Zealand and internationally.
During this webinar, Dame Helen outlines how the eye can help understand what is happening in the brain, and what the eye-tracking research she leads has already shown us about the brain. Helen introduces Vision Research Foundation’s study to investigate whether people with MS show distinctive patterns of eye movements – an ocular “signature” – that reflect disease activity and response to treatment.
The study currently running in Auckland only, aims to determine whether eye tracking can provide a rapid, non-invasive way to monitor MS, complementing existing clinical and imaging assessments.
