Research summary
AI-generated

Ellen Shorter's research focuses on clinical eye care topics related to the ocular surface, including dry eye disease, scleral lens wear (large specialty contact lenses used for conditions like keratoconus), and conjunctivitis. Much of the work examines patient outcomes, fitting techniques, and complications associated with contact lens use, particularly in patients with corneal or ocular surface disease. This research is largely clinical and patient-focused, often involving surveys, case observations, and clinical measurements rather than laboratory-based experiments.
