Collin Hair

Collin Hair is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology, specializing in pediatric ophthalmology with a focus on children with Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome). His work emphasizes systematic ocular screening protocols and longitudinal management of eye conditions in this population.

Dr. Hair's research centers on Ocular Pathology and Vision Screening in pediatric Down Syndrome patients, investigating prevalence patterns, follow-up intervals, and emergent conditions. His fingerprint analysis reveals dominant activity in Trisomy 21-related ocular manifestations (100% weighting), with significant contributions to understanding strabismus, refractive errors, and follow-up examination protocols. This work bridges clinical ophthalmology and developmental genetics.

His 2019 publication in the American Journal of Ophthalmology established critical baseline data on initial ocular pathology prevalence and new findings during follow-up in Trisomy 21 children. The study, cited 9 times in Scopus and referenced in clinical guidelines, demonstrates how regular screenings detect evolving conditions like strabismus and refractive errors, directly informing pediatric ophthalmology standards.

No student advisees or grant information appears in the source material. His h-index of 9 reflects impactful but narrowly focused contributions to Down Syndrome ophthalmology, with no awards or additional professional activities documented in the provided text.
