Primary Academic Title
Associate Professor of Ophthalmology
Background
Dr. Gramatikov is an associate professor in the Division of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Strabismus at the Wilmer Eye Institute. He is a biomedical engineer with expertise in medical instrumentation, electronic hardware, optoelectronics, medical optics, computer software, signal processing, computer modeling and data analysis. His current research interests are detection of central fixation via retinal birefringence scanning in clinical settings. The main goal of his research is to identify and treat children with strabismus (misaligned eyes) or anisometropia (unequal refractive error) before irreversible amblyopia (functional monocular blindness) results.
Dr. Gramatikov has participated in many instrumentation development projects, and has been the principal investigator on two major projects resulting in the development of prototypes of diagnostic devices for pediatric ophthalmology.
Dr. Gramatikov earned his Dipl.-Ing. (BS) degree from the Technical University of Ilmenau, Germany and his Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from the Technical University of Sofia's School of Electronic Engineering and Technology. He joined the Johns Hopkins faculty as a research associate in biomedical engineering in 1996 and was appointed to the Wilmer faculty in 2000.
He is an active member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and his professional achievements have been recognized through several major awards.

Research Interests
Determination of ocular defocus using the double-pass blur image of a point source of light, Optical coherence tomography, Pediatric vision screening, Retinal birefringence scanning
Research Summary
Current research focuses on developing diagnostic instrumentation for detecting vision abnormalities, mainly in pediatric patients. Of particular interest is the detection of fixation, eye alignment, fixation stability, focus detection etc. Methods include retinal birefringence scanning, eye tracking, acoustic attention attraction and others.
