Faculty Research: Clinical Science

Current vision research projects in clinical science include investigations into longitudinal changes in retinal function in diabetics, clinical assessment of visual performance, effects of overnight contact lens wear on corneal structure and function, infectious keratitis in contact lens wearers, changes in vision with age, achromatopsia, electrodiagnostics, function and regulation of the retinal pigment epithelium, applications of corneal topography, strabismus, amblyopia, and effects of contact lens design on tear flow.
