Niall Strang

Niall Strang is a Professor in Vision Sciences at Glasgow Caledonian University, with an extensive research portfolio focused on myopia, refractive errors, and retinal imaging. His work spans clinical research, diagnostic technology development, and public health applications in eye care. With an h-index of 21 and 1,558 citations, he has produced 93 research outputs since 1994, demonstrating sustained scholarly impact in vision science.

His research interests center on understanding and addressing myopia progression, with particular expertise in fundus refraction, axial length measurement, accommodative responses, and retinal biomarkers for vision-threatening conditions. Dr. Strang's work bridges clinical ophthalmology with technological innovation, contributing to novel diagnostic approaches and therapeutic interventions.

Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal a strong focus on personalized myopia biomarkers, retinal detachment risk prediction, and global eye care access. His research demonstrates a clear trajectory toward translating basic vision science into practical clinical applications and public health solutions, with growing emphasis on AI-assisted diagnostic tools and community-based eye care interventions.

Dr. Strang is actively involved in three major research projects: Light therapy for childhood myopia, software development for retinal damage detection, and retinal diagnostics for brain health assessment. These projects highlight his collaborative approach and commitment to addressing significant challenges in vision science through interdisciplinary research.

He has supervised 11 research projects or students and maintains active collaborations across multiple institutions. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to good health and well-being, with potential applications for improving eye health outcomes globally, particularly in underserved populations.
