Andrew W. Browne, MD, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine. He is affiliated with the Gavin Herbert Eye Institute and conducts research at the intersection of ophthalmology, visual function testing, and advanced imaging techniques.
Dr. Browne's research focuses on developing and applying novel diagnostic methods for assessing visual function. His work particularly emphasizes cone contrast threshold testing (CCT) as a quantitative measure of color and contrast function in various retinal diseases including multiple sclerosis, age-related macular degeneration, epiretinal membrane, and retinal vein occlusion. He has investigated how infrared light can provide more accurate measurements of retinal function in patients with optical media opacities such as cataracts.
His publications demonstrate a strong interest in innovative imaging approaches, including the application of artificial intelligence for super-resolution imaging in ophthalmic pathology. Dr. Browne has also contributed to clinical case studies, particularly regarding treatment approaches for rare retinal conditions like X-linked retinoschisis with cystoid macular edema.
Dr. Browne's research shows a progression toward integrating advanced computational methods with traditional ophthalmic diagnostics, suggesting a trajectory toward more precise and accessible visual function assessment tools.
His recent work indicates active involvement in clinical research with applications for improving diagnostic accuracy in patients with various ocular conditions, particularly those where standard visual function tests may be limited by media opacities or other factors.
