Projects

Our lab is actively involved in research projects sponsored by both industry and government. We are available to support sponsors with both laboratory and patient-based research from our extensive laboratory and clinical facilities. We also offer consulting services.

As technologies advance, and our understanding of ocular optics expands, the scope of the lab is constantly adapting. We employ wavefront sensing, OCT, computer modeling and psychophysical methods to explore core questions about the human eye and modern ophthalmic corrections, e.g. night vision, aberrations, refraction, myopia development, presbyopia, multifocal contact lenses, IOLs, and refractive surgeries.

Recently, we have examined the visual benefits and losses associated with presbyopic corrections that manipulate either the phase or amplitude function of the human eye. These studies are ongoing, and they become even more complex when we consider the rules by which the right and left eye’s images are combined in the visual cortex.

IRIS – Indiana Retinal Image Simulator

IRIS is an advanced physiological optics research tool available to download for free from the CORL website. It is a collaborate effect of many years of work of numerous researchers initiated and led by prof. Larry Thibos at Indiana University (and formerly known as FOC – Fourier Optics Calculator).
Many of its features have been used throughout the years in numerous iconic scientific publications in the field of physiological optics.
The Authors hope that it will also be of interest to students from fields like vision science, optometry, and others. We hope that a simple user interface and accurate graphics can vividly illustrate the characteristics of ocular aberrations and their impact on retinal image quality through point spread functions and retinal simulations. Read more »

We need your help!

We are always looking for individuals who are currently able to wear contact lenses, are interested in trying contact lenses, or are hopeful contact lenses may solve problems you may be experiencing.

With your help, we can continue to make improvements in these products, and hopefully your ability to see and wear them comfortably, safely, and affordably in the future.

Participate in CORL research

As a participant in our research studies and for providing your thoughts and feedback you will be paid for your time, while you simultaneously gain the opportunity to experience new contact lenses or care products.

Sign-up to participate

By completing a brief questionnaire you will help provide us with your contact information as well as some information about your eyes. From there, the doctors may contact you when they have a study you qualify for, in order to see if you would like to participate.

If you choose not to participate in the study when you are contacted, there is no penalty, and your name will remain in the database for the next study, until you choose to remove it.
