Dr. Pete Kollbaum and Dr. Nitya Murthy Awarded Research Grant from the International Society for Contact Lens Research
Congratulations to Dr. Pete Kollbaum and Dr. Nitya Murthy for being awarded a research grant from the International Society for Contact Lens Research (ISCLR)! When asked about their project, the investigators held their protocol pretty close to the chest, but we could surmise that they are looking at the optics of myopia control lenses. Stay… Read more »
Video Lecture: “Laplacians, Jacobians, and Gaussian curvature: A “deep-dive” into optical math” – prof. Larry N. Thibos.
The lecture is prompted by a request for a deeper understanding of some of the vector algebra that is the foundation of the textbook method. That method is explained for optometric audiences in the attached paper, which will give you a sense of the “flavor” of the topic. Might not suit all tastes, but we… Read more »
Accommodative Behavior, Hyperopic Defocus, and Retinal Image Quality in Children Viewing Electronic Displays
The prevalence of myopia and use of electronic displays by children has grown rapidly in recent years. We found that children viewing electronic displays, however, experience hyperopic defocus levels similar to those previously reported for other stimuli. Please find our research article in the current issue of OVS. The article can be assessed… Read more »
Review of Optometry Jan 2019 (Myopia Issue)
The rapid increase in myopia prevalence over the last 50 years has occurred simultaneously during a period of rapid technological advances, resulting in the dominant use of electronic devices for displaying everything from text, pictures, movies, games and more. Myopia is accelerating rapidly in 21st Century and predictions suggest 50% of the world being myopic… Read more »
