Biography
Dr Beatrix Feigl is a Lecturer in the School of Biomedical Sciences and Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation at the Queensland University of Technology. She completed a Doctor of Medicine (MD) at the Medical University Graz, Austria, in 1992, and qualified as an ophthalmologist in 1998. She completed her PhD studies at QUT in April 2005.
Dr Feigl’s areas of interest are visual function assessment in retinal disease including age-related macular degeneration (AMD). She is studying morphological, electrophysiological and psychophyscial characteristics in retinal disease for the purpose of early detection, monitoring progression of disease and treatment effects.
