Premnandhini Satgunam

Premnandhini Satgunam received her bachelor's degree in optometry from the Elite School of Optometry, Sankara Nethralaya BITS, Pilani. She then completed her MS and PhD in Vision Science from the Ohio State University, USA. Later, she worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the field of vision rehabilitation at Schepens Eye Research Institute, Harvard Medical School, USA.

Dr Satgunam's clinical interest is in Binocular Vision, Vision Therapy and Orthoptics. Currently, her research work focuses on measuring visual functions (e.g. visual fields) and functional vision testing (e.g. visual search). At present, there are tests and tools available for normal adults whereas fewer tests and tools exist for patients with special needs. Her research work aims at addressing this gap and also gathers scientific evidence in clinical practice.
