Biography
Background
Dr Scott Read is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Optometry and Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (IHBI) at QUT.
Dr Read graduated from QUT with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Optometry with First Class Honours in 1997, and was awarded the QUT University Medal. He then worked in private optometry practice for six years.
Dr Read returned to QUT in 2003 and began his PhD studies, funded through the Australian Postgraduate Research Award. He completed his PhD in 2006 under the supervision of Professor Michael Collins. His PhD thesis, “Corneal topography and the morphology of the palpebral fissure”, investigated, in detail, the normal shape of the cornea and morphology of the eyelids in the population, and examined the role of the eyelids in determining normal corneal shape.
His thesis was awarded a QUT Faculty of Health Executive Dean’s commendation for higher degree research. He has presented his work at national and international conferences. In 2008, he was awarded a QUT Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation Early Career research grant to perform research investigating the true intraocular pressure in keratoconus.
Dr Read’s current research interests include investigating the normal shape and optical properties of the entire cornea, diurnal variation of ocular components and the influence of intraocular pressure on the optics of the eye.
