Neil Parry

Neil Parry is an Honorary Visiting Professor of Vision Science at the University of Bradford's Faculty of Life Sciences and Head of the Ophthalmic Electrodiagnostic Service at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital's Vision Science Centre. He holds roles as Treasurer of the International Colour Vision Society (ICVS) and is a State-registered Clinical Scientist (SRCS).

Education and Qualifications: BSc (Hons) Human Biology (1984, University of Surrey), PhD in Human Brain Electrophysiology (1992, Victoria University of Manchester), and Clinical Scientist registration (HPC #CS02686).

Research Interests: Focus on electroretinography (ERG), macular pigment (MP) measurement, and color vision mechanisms. Key studies include cone-isolating ERGs, silent substitution techniques for photoreceptor analysis, and MP's role in AMD prevention. Research also explores peripheral color appearance, reaction times, and tablet-based visual testing.

Methodological Expertise: Specializes in ERGs, VEPs, contrast sensitivity, and clinical electrophysiology. Skilled in software tools like Delphi, Visual Basic, and C.

Professional Contributions: Active in ARVO, ICVS, and the British Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision. Collaborates with institutions globally, including Moorfields Eye Hospital, University of Erlangen, and SUNY.

Publications: Over 80 peer-reviewed articles, including seminal work on AMD's electrophysiological markers and macular pigment's protective role. Recent studies analyze dark adaptation in early AMD and genetic variability in albinism.
