Biography

Martín Gallegos-Duarte, MD, PhD, is an ophthalmologist, strabismus specialist, and researcher in visual neuroscience at the Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, Mexico. His research focuses on the neurofunctional organization of the visual system, particularly strabismus, ocular motor function, neuroimaging, and brain plasticity. He introduced the concept of Neurostrabismus as a framework for studying strabismus beyond ocular alignment, integrating clinical findings with neurofunctional and neuroimaging evidence. His current research explores the INOV model (Neurofunctional Integration and Visual Optimization), which examines visual-system organization, stabilization, perturbation, and functional reorganization. He is the author of Neurostrabismo. Surge un nuevo paradigma and has contributed to research and academic training in ophthalmology, optometry, and visual neuroscience.
