Jennifer Harthan's work focuses on the front surface of the eye, especially conditions like dry eye disease, keratoconus (a corneal thinning disorder), and Sjogren's syndrome, along with the use of specialty contact lenses (scleral and orthokeratology lenses) to manage these conditions. Much of the research involves clinical assessment tools, such as corneal imaging (tomography) and meibomian gland (eyelid oil gland) evaluation, to better diagnose and monitor ocular surface disease across diverse patient populations, including children.
