Research Interests

Dr. Roberts' research interests include corneal biomechanics in glaucoma and refractive surgery, ophthalmic imaging including topography, Optical Coherence Tomography, optical wavefront sensing, and functional MRI, as well as laser-cellular interactions of trabecular meshwork endothelial cells.

Teaching

Dr. Roberts regularly teaches courses for CME credit at the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and both the American and European Societies of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. Topics include corneal topography and corneal biomechanics. Dr. Roberts has also taught graduate courses in ophthalmic imaging and laser-tissue interactions.
