Teaching
Karthikeyan Baskaran is currently working as a senior lecturer in the Department of Medicine and Optometry at Linnaeus University Kalmar, Sweden. He is involved in teaching both the undergraduate optometry program and advanced courses in optometry. He is also in charge of the advanced level optometric rehabilitation course.
Research
Karthikeyan Baskaran received his PhD in biomedical sciences from Linnaeus University, Kalmar in 2012. He then completed his postdoctoral fellowship at Indiana University School of Optometry, USA. He was awarded the prestigious fellowship (FAAO) from the American Academy of Optometry in the 2016 meeting held at Anaheim, California, USA.
His research focuses on the area of peripheral visual optics, low vision rehabilitation and retinal imaging. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Optometry from Elite School of Optometry, Chennai, India in 2004. He has been invited speaker in international conferences and have authored several peer-reviewed publication in well-known optometry journals.
