Helen Victoria Danesh-Meyer is a New Zealand ophthalmology academic, and as of 2008 is a full professor at the University of Auckland.
She is the first female professor of ophthalmology in New Zealand, and the second female professor in any surgical speciality in New Zealand.
Academic career
After an undergraduate at the University of Otago followed by a 2004 MD titled 'The evaluation of diagnostic procedures, visual outcome and optic nerve morphology in giant cell arteritis' and a 2013 PhD titled 'Evaluation of optic nerve morphology in non-glaucomatous optic neuropathies with quantitative optic nerve imaging modalities' at the University of Auckland, Danesh-Meyer joined the staff at Auckland, rising to full professor.
Much of Danesh-Meyer's profile is due to her work on glaucoma.
In 2022, she co-founded the Vision Research Foundation and acts as its Scientific Director. The Vision Research Foundation focuses on supporting early and mid-career vision researchers in New Zealand
Danesh-Meyer has been an authored or co-author of over 180 peer-reviewed publications. Her work has linked retinal nerve thinning to dementia and inflammation pathways relevant to eye diseases.
Honours
In the 2023 New Year Honours, Danesh-Meyer was appointed a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (CNZM), for services to ophthalmology.
