Rate My Professor Mark Elder

Elder's research specializations lie in ophthalmology, focusing on retinal vascular disorders, drug-induced ocular toxicity, infectious endophthalmitis, cataract surgery outcomes and patient perspectives, and pseudophakic visual function. Notable publications include 'Hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of acute retinal artery occlusion' (2017, Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine), 'Early paracentral visual field loss in patients taking hydroxychloroquine' (2007, Archives of Ophthalmology), 'Endophthalmitis' (2002, Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology), 'What patients want to know before they have cataract surgery' (2004, Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology), and 'Apparent accommodation and depth of field in pseudophakia' (1996, Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery). He has authored over 100 peer-reviewed articles, accumulating more than 4,400 citations, influencing clinical guidelines on hydroxychloroquine screening, hyperbaric treatments for retinal emergencies, and postoperative care in ophthalmology. Elder also chairs the Lighthouse Vision Trust, contributing to vision care initiatives in New Zealand, and participates in postgraduate supervision and ophthalmic training.
