Contact Details

Paul Mitchell is a medical retinal specialist and professor of ophthalmology at the University of Sydney, and Director of Ophthalmology for the Sydney West Area. His clinical work focuses on the management of AMD, diabetic and other vascular retinopathies and on systemic diseases and their effects on the eye. His research has targeted the epidemiology of eye disease and clinical aspects of retinal diseases.

Significant contributions in the fields of public health and ophthalmic epidemiology have been made via the landmark Blue Mountains Eye Study (BMES) that has already yielded close to 300 international publications including in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

Paul was awarded the 2004 Association of International Glaucoma Societies (AIGS) award for research into the epidemiology of glaucoma. He has served in many organisations and was elected in 2007 as the Trustee for the Clinical & Epidemiologic Research section of the Association for Research in Vision & Ophthalmology (ARVO).

Professor Paul Mitchell is the Director of the Centre for Vision Research.

Research Interests

Paul has a strong interest in the application of evidence-based medicine in ophthalmology, particularly in the field of new therapies for age-related macular degeneration.

Highlights of his research career include:

BMES: the first large Australian population-based study of age-related eye disease. The study has examined prevalence, incidence, risk factors and impacts of the key causes of vision loss, vascular events, hearing, nutrition and other findings of systemic-ocular links, and key impacts of visual impairment on independent living and quality of life.
BMES data have been combined for analysis with other population studies. This helped project eye disease prevalence for the U.S., published in the landmark 2004 Archives of Ophthalmology series.
Recent research has focused on retinal vascular signs as risk markers for stroke and other systemic outcomes, particularly for hypertension and the utility of these signs in stratifying cardiovascular risk.
Childhood retinal vessel signs as markers of future cardiovascular disease are now being reported in a series of key papers.
The Sydney Childhood Eye Study (SCES) is another focus of recent research and has resulted in a series of publications addressing refractive error, amblyopia and strabismus.
