Peter Campbell

Dr. Peter Campbell is a Senior Glaucoma Practitioner at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and an academic at City St George's, University of London, where he is affiliated with the School of Health and Psychological Sciences and the Department of Optometry and Visual Sciences. He previously served as Programme Director for Introduction to Optometry at City, University of London. His work bridges clinical optometry and academic research, with a strong focus on glaucoma management and innovative monitoring techniques.

• Professional Doctorate in Optometry, London South Bank University, 2015
• BSc Optometry, City, University of London, 1998
• MA, University of Cambridge, 1994
• Postgraduate Diploma in Academic Practice, City, University of London

Dr. Campbell’s research centers on glaucoma, visual field testing, intraocular pressure measurement, and the feasibility and acceptability of home-based and digital monitoring technologies in ophthalmic care. He has extensively studied patient adherence to glaucoma medication, inter-optometrist variability in IOP measurement, and the implementation of telemedicine solutions such as tablet-based visual field tests (e.g., Eyecatcher). His work often involves qualitative assessments of patient experiences and usability of new technologies.

His recent publications (2020–2024) demonstrate a consistent trend toward evaluating digital health tools for chronic eye disease management, particularly glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. These studies emphasize patient-centered design, real-world feasibility, and the integration of remote monitoring into existing healthcare systems. Key themes include patient empowerment, data accessibility, concerns about replacing face-to-face care, and the need for user-friendly interfaces with clear feedback mechanisms.

• Member, College of Optometrists (1999–present)

Dr. Campbell has collaborated on multiple research projects involving pop-up health screenings in public spaces, assessing the feasibility of measuring blood pressure and intraocular pressure in shopping centers. These initiatives reflect a broader interest in expanding access to preventive eye care. While no specific grants or advising roles are mentioned in the text, his involvement in funded studies (e.g., UKRI Healthy Ageing Catalyst Award) indicates active grant-supported research. He teaches undergraduate modules in Visual Optics and Clinical Skills, as well as a postgraduate module in Glaucoma.

He is involved in several research labs and teams focused on vision science and digital health, particularly those associated with City, University of London, including collaborations with the Royal Free Clinical Research Facility. His future work is likely to continue exploring the role of technology in democratizing eye care, improving patient adherence, and reducing the burden on hospital services through validated, patient-acceptable remote monitoring solutions.
