C. Ross Ethier spends much of his time researching Anatomy, Glaucoma, Biomechanics, Optic nerve and Sclera. His research investigates the connection with Anatomy and areas like Ophthalmology which intersect with concerns in Ultrastructure and Biomechanical Phenomena. His Glaucoma research includes themes of Actin cytoskeleton and Dexamethasone.

His Biomechanics study which covers Lamina that intersects with Retinal ganglion cell. His work deals with themes such as Intraocular pressure, Optic disk, Biomedical engineering and Shell, which intersect with Sclera. His biological study deals with issues like Head, which deal with fields such as Material properties.

His most cited work include:

  • Factors influencing optic nerve head biomechanics. (368 citations)
  • Finite element modeling of optic nerve head biomechanics. (235 citations)
  • Ocular biomechanics and biotransport. (220 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Glaucoma, Anatomy, Ophthalmology, Intraocular pressure and Biomechanics. His Glaucoma study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lamina, Retinal ganglion cell, Optic nerve and Sclera. His Anatomy research includes themes of Schlemm's canal, Shear stress, Connective tissue, Hemodynamics and Endothelium.

Hypoxia is closely connected to Surgery in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Ophthalmology. C. Ross Ethier has included themes like Retinal and Intracranial pressure in his Intraocular pressure study. His work on Biomechanics is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Neuroscience.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glaucoma (51.56%)
  • Anatomy (32.87%)
  • Ophthalmology (28.72%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Glaucoma (51.56%)
  • Ophthalmology (28.72%)
  • Intraocular pressure (25.61%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Glaucoma, Ophthalmology, Intraocular pressure, Optic nerve and Trabecular meshwork. His Glaucoma research includes elements of Biomechanics, Retinal ganglion cell, Cornea, Estrogen and Compliance. The various areas that C. Ross Ethier examines in his Biomechanics study include Stiffness and Retinal ganglion.

Sclera is the focus of his Ophthalmology research. The Ocular hypertension research he does as part of his general Intraocular pressure study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Outflow, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Optic nerve study incorporates themes from Magnetic resonance imaging and Head.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • In vivo measurement of trabecular meshwork stiffness in a corticosteroid-induced ocular hypertensive mouse model. (26 citations)
  • Sustained scleral stiffening in rats after a single genipin treatment. (8 citations)
  • Menopause exacerbates visual dysfunction in experimental glaucoma (8 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Biochemistry
  • Ophthalmology

C. Ross Ethier focuses on Glaucoma, Ophthalmology, Intraocular pressure, Optic nerve and Sclera. He studies Glaucoma, focusing on Trabecular meshwork in particular. His work in Ophthalmology addresses issues such as Strain, which are connected to fields such as Rat Optic Nerve, Compression, Head and Stiffening.

His Intraocular pressure study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Menopause, Estrogen and Optomotor response. His Optic nerve research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Magnetic resonance imaging and Intracranial pressure. He conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Sclera and Genipin.
