Welcome to the Woodward Lab!

The Woodward Lab’s purpose is to dramatically extend high-quality, affordable eye care to underserved and under-represented communities nationally and globally. 

The mission is to improve patient outcomes by creating personalized point-of-care decision-aid tools so clinicians can make accurate treatment choices. 

Our research creates novel deep-learning algorithms, low-cost technologies, and novel care models for anterior eye diseases.
