Adaptive Visual Strategies for Individuals with Macular Degeneration

In this project we try to gain a better understanding of what visual strategies people use to gather information in the world.

Characteristics of Smooth Pursuit in Individuals with Central Field Loss

This project investigates the properties of smooth pursuit eye movements in individuals with macular degeneration.

Active

Eye-Hand coordination in Central Field Loss

Eye-hand coordination in AMD

Image of the retina with a centroid target superimposed. The fovea is off-center from the target.

Active

Fovea Use During Smooth Pursuit

There is continuing debate as to whether smooth pursuit relies on the foveation of a moving target, especially when the target is compact.

Active

Motion Perception in Central Field Loss

The project investigates motion perception in individuals with vision loss due to central retinal lesion, but who retain healthy peripheral retina.

Active

Stereopsis in Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration affects the central retina, often causing asymmetrical damage to the two eyes.

Active

Tracking a target in depth with central field loss

Bilateral field loss due to maculopathy creates a scotoma that extends in depth — a volume scotoma.

Completed

Novel Method to Teach Scotoma Awareness

This project aims to improve visual function in individuals with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD isassociated with central field loss that cannot be corrected optically.
