The Kuo laboratory is focused on developing the technologies necessary create digital images of the eye for clinical use.

Our current projects include developing a “Whole Eye” scanner based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and developing software to ensure the spatial accuracy of the scans. These scans will be used clinically to improve measurements of the eye in preparation for surgery and also to study how the back of the eye changes with myopia (near-sightedness).

In collaboration with Drs. Cynthia Toth (Duke Eye Center) and Joseph Izatt (Duke Biomedical Engineering), we also have projects on using OCT intraoperatively for surgery and on enabling telemedicine capabilities for OCT.
