Mark Lucey

Mark Lucey serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Optometry and Vision Science within the School of Health and Clinical Sciences at The University of Western Australia, where he contributes to academic instruction and vision science research.

Education:

• Graduate Certificate in Ocular Therapeutics from Queensland University of Technology (2009)
• Bachelor of Applied Science (Optometry) from Queensland University of Technology (1996)
• Bachelor of Science from the University of Queensland (1990)

His research centers on physiological and perceptual aspects of vision, with emphasis on refractive error conditions. Key investigations include intraocular pressure dynamics in myopic populations, retinal vascular responses, and contrast sensitivity mechanisms affecting visual performance. This work bridges clinical optometry with fundamental vision science.

Recent publications reveal a focused trajectory examining biomechanical and functional ocular responses in myopia, particularly pressure-induced vascular changes and contrast-dependent visual acuity variations. These studies employ both conference-presented experimental models and peer-reviewed journal methodologies to advance understanding of vision pathology.
