Rate My Professor Deborah Sweeney

Sweeney's principal research domain encompasses corneal physiology, with contributions pivotal to comprehending human corneal physiology and the impacts of contact lens wear and refractive surgery on corneal function and characteristics, alongside advancements in alternative vision correction modalities. She has authored over 100 refereed articles and multiple book chapters, and is co-inventor on two patents. Select publications include 'Reprising the Gothenburg study' (2022, Contact Lens and Anterior Eye), 'Lifetime corneal edema load model' (2021, Translational Vision Science and Technology), 'Extended and continuous wear lenses' (2019, Contact Lenses), 'Interpreting the corneal response to oxygen: is there a basis for re-evaluating data from gas-goggle studies?' (2016, Experimental Eye Research), and 'Tear Film Stability: A Review' (2013). As Principal Investigator, she led projects such as a meta-analysis estimating the relationship between corneal swelling and contact lens oxygen transmissibility (CooperVision USA, 2019), Major Open Data Collections Project (2014-2015), and facility management initiatives (2011-2012). Her scholarship has accumulated over 6,000 citations, underscoring substantial influence in vision sciences.
