      Purpose: To (1) develop a novel air-based aesthesiometer capable of producing and applying multiple stimuli separated either by time or space; (2) identify the stimulus airflow characteristics and confirm the consistency ...
    • Structure and Function in Early Glaucoma 

      Ho, Yuan-Hao (University of Waterloo, 2016-08-24)
      Glaucoma is a group of diseases, which exhibit a characteristic optic neuropathy and may result in progressive visual field loss. The most important risk factor is raised intraocular pressure (IOP) usually secondary to ...
    • Structure and Function in Early Glaucoma 

      Balian, Carmen (University of Waterloo, 2017-01-23)
      Glaucoma is a general term that includes an array of ocular conditions that cause a specific neuropathy of the optic nerve (Greenfield, Bagga, et al. 2003) of which abnormalities associated with this disorder are localized ...
