Patryk is a graduate of the Faculty of Medicine at Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz (Poland) of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, majoring in ophthalmic optics and optometry. In April 2024, he obtained PhD degree in medical sciences, defending his doctoral dissertation entitled”:
His main fields of interest in optometry and optics include contact lenses, anterior eye segment (particularly keratoconus) and microsurgery. Together with the Faculty of Physics, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Patryk is currently researching alternative applications for optical coherence tomography (OCT).
He was one of the researchers involved in the NCN grant project ‘Ophthalmological applications of in vitro measurements using a prototype OCT topographer’. As part of the grant, Patryk has authored and co-authored a number of publications concerning geometry alterations in: daily disposable soft contact lenses during wear, positive/negative powered CLs during extended wear and their impact on the anterior eye segment. The study results have been presented during the BCLA Clinical Conference & Exhibition 2019 in Manchester.
Patryk has published his illustrative article ‘Probing biomechanical properties of the cornea with air-puff-based techniques – an overview’ in Advanced Optical Technologies, as well as the research paper in this field “Air-puff induced corneal dynamics in normal, forme fruste and keratoconic eyes measured with OCT-based optical biometry” in Optics and Lasers in Engineering. He is also the author and co-author of posters presented at the 25th ESCRS Winter Meeting Virtual 2021 and Cornea 2021 and a conference presentation at Cornea 2021. The topics of his presentations were keratoconus, mapping corneal epithelium thickness and anterior eye changes in cases of early keratoconus.
Curently, he is an academic teacher at the Faculty of Medicine of the Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń.
Professionally, he is associated with Oftalmika Ophthalmology Clinic in Bydgoszcz, where he fits both soft and rigid contact lenses.
