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.
