 The Burns Lab is involved in understanding the  fundamentals of retinal structure, including individual variations in normal  retinal structure.  We are also very interested in how retinal function and  structure are influenced by disease.  To do this we develop state of the  art optical technology based on Adaptive Optics, and we then apply these techniques to the study of the impact of disease on reitnal structure and function.

Vascular Structure and Function

Photoreceptors

Currently we use Adaptive Optics Retinal Imaging to study the cone photoreceptors and how aging and disease impact the photoreceptors.  We have shown that there are changes occurring early in disease and in addition about 1/4 of patients with diabetes have localized regions of cones that are poorly reflective.   In our current grant we ar

Currently we use Adaptive Optics Retinal Imaging to study the cone photoreceptors and how aging and disease impact the photoreceptors.  We have shown that there are changes occurring early in disease and in addition about 1/4 of patients with diabetes have localized regions of cones that are poorly reflective.   In our current grant we are studying the relation of these areas to vascular changes to both the retinal and choroidal circulation

Vascular Structure and Function

Vascular Structure and Function

Vascular Structure and Function

We are currently supported by the National Eye Institute to use Adaptive Optics to better understand the early changes in diabetic retinopathy.  We have developed precise techniques for measuring changes to vascular structure , as well as to measure blood velocity over the entire range of retinal vessels in the living human retina.

Steve Burns School of Optometry, Indiana University

 The Burns Lab studies retinal structure and function and the impact of retinal disease, particularly diabetic retinopathy.  To do this we develop and apply state of the art optical technology based on Adaptive Optics

Downloads

Each section of the website has some relevant papers available for download.  Here are a few that cover the range of topics that the Burns Lab and our collaborators have investigated over the years.  These include some that represent firsts or unusual studies for me.  For instance the Chen et al paper has some of the first ever MRI images of the shape of myopic eyes.  This work was done with Ann Fulton's group.  The Warnicki et al paper was work performed using an imaging board in a North Star Horizon computer to generate raster sterographic measurements of corneal shape.  I also include a paper using color matching to measure photopigment kinetics and Adaptive Optics to study blood flow and how the velocity profile differs from the classic shape.
