Expertise

Research Interests

  • Advances in vision science and vision care
  • Evaluating and predicting the success of refractive interventions and visual corrections
  • Developing outcome measures to enhance a clinician's ability to treat patients and the research's ability to quantify improvements in care and determine causes for failures
  • Improving ocular diagnostics for the detection, diagnosis, and correction of corneal disease
  • Generating improvements in refractive interventions and visual corrections through controlled optical manipulations

His specific interests include myopia, presbyopia, eye fatigue, keratoconus, metrology, and biometry.

Dr. Kollbaum’s areas of research interest include contact lens optics, contact lens fitting and design, presbyopia, keratoconus, refractive surgery optics, corneal topography, presbyopic corrections, optics of the aging eye, measurement and correction of aberrations, refractive surgery, ocular diagnostics, metrology, and predictive modeling.

We are a group of scientists from around the world who participate in both basic and clinical studies designed to improve the visual quality of patients who are experiencing a variety of optical imperfections.
