His research evaluates treatment modalities like intravitreal bevacizumab vs laser photocoagulation, studies surgical training trends, and explores digital health applications for amblyopia therapy. Recent publications examine pandemic impacts on pediatric ophthalmology training and clinical manifestations of rare conditions like neurotrophic keratopathy.

Publications Trends: His 15 most recent articles (2020-2025) focus on ROP diagnostics, surgical training analysis, treatment comparisons, and virtual reality applications for vision therapy. These works span collaborations with multi-center institutions and emphasize clinical utility through algorithm validation and educational tools.
