Dr. Tobias Elze was awarded a BrightFocus Foundation grant. The topic of the project is “Computational Investigation of Glaucoma Progression”. The project is aimed to develop novel computational methods to assess the progression of glaucoma in retinal structure, visual function, and their combination. Machine learning techniques are applied to large data sets of Humphrey visual fields and optical coherence tomography measurements of glaucoma patients from different hospitals to re-define, predict, and quantify disease progression over time. Please find the grant details and abstract here.
