Research Focus
Rylander's research is focused on developing objective tests for visual function and finding new applications for lasers in ophthalmology. Current projects include a VEP visual function-based method for early diagnosis of glaucoma, a feedback control system for panretinal photocoagulation, an improved delivery system for cyclo-photocoagulation and a holmium-YAG technique for drilling holes in the stapes bone.

Previously, Rylander has supervised research on RK surgery to correct myopia and thermokeratoplasty to correct hyperopia. A method for acquiring non-contact endothelial cell counts was developed that relied on computer-assisted image analysis to determine cell boundaries.
