Abstract:

Adaptive optical elements, including lenses, prisms, occluders, and color filters, may create new opportunities for correction of presbyopia, treatment of amblyopia, strabismus, and color vision. These adaptive optical elements can be equipped with compact electronic drivers and controllers to form various kinds of smart eyewear for more efficient treatment. In addition, retinal scanning display eyewear could be an effective visual aid for AMD subjects. In this talk, we will discuss these new devices and explore potential collaborations. 

Dr. Don Fletcher will be our next speaker.  Each year Dr. Fletcher hosts an informal gathering of clinicians and clinical researchers in Low Vision Rehabilitation. The group meets to discuss problems in the field, share techniques, and brainstorm ideas for new treatments.  Dr. Fletcher will share with us insights from this year’s meeting.
