Biography

Professor Chauhan’s research focuses on clinical experimental glaucoma. His specific areas of interest include the quantification of glaucoma progression and the development of clinical tools for decision support in studies of experimental optic nerve damage to guide diagnostics and therapeutics. He has emphasized imaging and assessing function in his research to better understand glaucoma. His publications span a range of topics within this field, such as visual field change in glaucoma patients, age-related intraocular pressure in murine experimental glaucoma, and simultaneous in vivo confocal reflectance imaging of retinal ganglion cells. His work has contributed significantly to the understanding of retinal ganglion cell damage in glaucomatous optic neuropathy and has provided practical recommendations for measuring rates of visual field change in glaucoma.
