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' [2] 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,[3] Danesh-Meyer joined the staff at Auckland, rising to full professor.[1]

Much of Danesh-Meyer's profile is due to her work on glaucoma.[4][5][6]

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.[7]
