Colloquium

Visual perception, eye movements and visual field awareness after central vision loss: Evidence from patients with Macular degeneration, simulated scotoma, and visual training

Wednesday, October 25th, 2023 – 12:00pm to 1:00pm

Macular Degeneration (MD) represents the leading cause of visual impairment in the Western World. Late-stage MD eventually leads to the development of a central region of blindness (scotoma), which…

Fixational Eye Movements in Strabismus and Amblyopia: Implications for visual function deficits and treatment outcomes

Thursday, November 18th, 2021 – 12:00pm to 1:00pm

We have developed robust and objective measures that do not depend upon the young patient’s cooperation or provider’s assessments of visual acuity and strabismus angle and quantifies the entire…

*Special Time* Hybrid Colloquium: Brain plasticity in people born blind: Individual differences of plasticity and sight restoration

Monday, March 27th, 2023 – 4:00pm to 5:00pm
Abstract - What does the visual cortex do in people born completely blind? Early-onset blindness leads to reorganization in visual cortex connectivity and function, but this reorganization is not…

Hybrid Colloquium: Compensatory oculomotor strategies in central vision loss: Insights from simulated scotoma and visual training

Thursday, March 30th, 2023 – 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Abstract - Macular degeneration (MD) represents one of the main causes of vision loss and a serious health concern worldwide. Late-stage MD leads to the development of a region of retinal blindness…
