Squint Correction Operation 

Mr Tony Vivian is a paediatric ophthalmologist and adult squint surgeon whose research projects include clinical research into novel treatments for amblyopia (lazy eye), the investigation of eye growth in infants using MRI and the genetics and MRI features of cranial nerve developmental abnormalities.

The iBIT treatment for amblyopia: this project, in association with the University of Nottingham, is looking at a novel treatment for amblyopia using virtual reality 3D gaming technology instead of patching in children.

MRI and eye growth in infants: This project is looking at the growth of infant eyes using MRI scanning and analysis software (in association with Microsoft Research, Cambridge) to determine the pattern of eye growth in infants.

Genetic and MRI features of congenital IVth nerve paresis: This project looking at patients with abnormal development of of the fourth cranial nerve involves a search for underlying genetic mechanisms and detailed MRI scans of the brain, nerve and superior oblique muscle to determine the underlying structural changes.
