Rate My Professor Clare Fraser

Professor Fraser is a clinician-researcher specializing in neuro-ophthalmology, strabismus surgery, and electrodiagnostics, contributing to the Save Sight Institute's clinical care of complex patients and Australia's largest visual electrodiagnostic service. Her research focuses on optic nerve diseases including optic neuritis associated with multiple sclerosis, optic disc drusen—for which she leads an international consortium with the University of Copenhagen—visual snow syndrome in collaboration with Macquarie University, concussion assessment with the Australian Sports Brain Bank and Professor Michael Buckland, and ophthalmic applications to systemic conditions like obstructive sleep apnea. Notable publications include "Retinal thickness measured with optical coherence tomography and risk of disability worsening in multiple sclerosis: a cohort study" (The Lancet Neurology, 2016), "Artificial intelligence to detect papilledema from ocular fundus photographs" (New England Journal of Medicine, 2020), "The investigation of acute optic neuritis: a review and proposed protocol" (Nature Reviews Neurology, 2014), "Diagnosis and classification of optic neuritis" (The Lancet Neurology, 2022), and "The optic disc drusen studies consortium recommendations for diagnosis of optic disc drusen using optical coherence tomography" (Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, 2018). Her scholarly impact includes over 4,800 citations.
