David devoted much of his time and energy to promote international sharing of knowledge and information on ophthalmology and vision research.
Although research on the topic has been moderately active in the ophthalmology and vision domains, no definitive model has been devised.
This second article in a series primarily aimed at those commencing research, particularly in the area of ophthalmology and vision science, delineates the interrelated components that are required to complete a research project.
Continuous variables (such as intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity, contrast sensitivity) are commonly measured in clinical ophthalmology and vision research.
Furthermore, in the field of ophthalmology and low vision it is increasingly more common to use Rasch analysis or other item response theory models to calculate health-related outcome measures, such as QOL questionnaires [ 13, 33, 34].
