Introduction
As a researcher with a medical and neurophysiological background, my work focuses on uncovering the connections between visual functions and musculoskeletal conditions, such as the role of mobile-based vision screening in fall prevention. My research primarily explores visual perception, visual functions, and the application of mobile technologies in healthcare. Over recent years, I have paid particular attention to the electrophysiological foundations of vision screening and development. Key areas of my research include developing mobile-based screening applications for the early detection of amblyopia and investigating the psychophysical and pathophysiological aspects of binocular vision and short-term visual memory.
My publications showcase numerous interdisciplinary research outcomes, such as the use of stereotests in children’s vision screening, the mechanisms of short-term visual memory, and the details of vision function deterioration in the elderly. Additionally, my previous research extends to the role of color in short-term visual memory.
Currently, my research focuses on age-related changes in visual functions, the relationship between vision impairment and falls in the elderly, and the clinical applicability of mobile-based vision screening. A key focus is the validation of the EuvisionTab® application, which facilitates effective monitoring of stereovision and visual acuity in elderly individuals, contributing to fall prevention. Furthermore, I am involved in the Hungarian adaptation of international validated musculoskeletal questionnaires to improve diagnostic and therapeutic efficiency in patient care through their routine application.
