معرفی
Tony Redmond is a Reader in Vision Science at Cardiff University's School of Optometry and Vision Sciences, where he has progressed from Lecturer (2012) to Senior Lecturer (2015) before achieving his current position in 2021. His research centers on understanding the functional architecture of the visual system and its alterations in neurodegenerative disorders, particularly glaucoma and macular degeneration.
Dr. Redmond's primary research interests include basic and clinical psychophysics, spatial and temporal summation, perimetry, and the development of clinical diagnostic tools. His laboratory employs a multidisciplinary approach combining psychophysics, electrophysiology, retinal imaging, and fMRI to investigate visual system function. A significant focus of his work examines how spatial summation changes in glaucoma and aging, with implications for improving visual field testing accuracy.
His publication record shows consistent output in high-impact vision science journals, with research trends emphasizing glaucoma diagnostics, perimetry techniques, spatial summation analysis, and retinal imaging. Recent work increasingly incorporates advanced methodologies like gaze-contingent perimetry and adaptive optics imaging.
