Fatima Iqbal has her expertise in cornea, low vision and pediatric care. ‘Aim high and achieve high’ is the vision statement she carries. She is working as full time faculty at School of Optometry, The University of Faisalabad and private practice at Abdullah Memorial Hospital. She is also Global Ambassador of Tfos (Tear film and ocular surface society) and member of American academy of Optometry. Her interest in cornea and tear film led her to conduct this study to evaluate pre and post cycloplegic effects on axial length and corneal curvatures. Her study also unveiled role of accommodation on described ocular structures. Her publications majorly light on the role of optometrist in early detection of serious systemic disorders and uncovering features of optical coherence tomography.

Dr. Borchman received B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Wayne State Unviersity before completing postdoctoral training at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. His research is focused on ophthatmology and visual sciences, where his team recently characterized changes in human lens lipid composition with regard to age and cataract. This research led to the discovery of dihydrosphingomyelin, a major lens phospholipid. Dr. Borchman is also leading a group of research associates in studying the structure and interactions of the lipid tear film, which has yet to be fully described on a molecular level.
