Corneal Transplantation
Dr. Brunette’s research focuses on how light passes through the cornea, and she also studies the quality of the optics of the eye following excimer laser refractive surgery based on corneal topography.
Research interests
Excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (refractive surgery), technological advances in cataract surgery, satisfaction studies, quality of the optics of the eye, corneal topography, Fuchs’ dystrophy.
Projects
Multicentre studies to evaluate the outcomes of different types of refractive surgery; development of a questionnaire to evaluate postoperative patient satisfaction; first objective measurements of quality of optics and measurements of optical aberrations induced by refractive surgery using a Hartmann-Shack aberrometer.
Fields
Surgery – ophthalmology – transplantation and grafts/rejection. Methodology: clinical – evaluative. Pathology: glaucoma.
