I have long been interested in and have studied the value of non-standard vision measures (i.e. measures other than high contrast acuity) as predictors of performance on important tasks of daily life, indicators of retinal status, and predictors of disease progression. I am particularly interested in assessing deficits in task performance in people with diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.

Reading in mTBI
People with mTBI often complain about dificulty in reading in spite of normal results in usual eye exams. We investigate this issue by looking at accommodation and reading rate and subjective measurement of reading difficuties for a variaty of reading tasks in normal and mTBI population. ...
Assessment of Speechreading with Dual Sensory Loss: Visual and Hearing Impairments
The purpose of this research study is to test subjects who have various hearing and vision problems on their lipreading, visual and auditory skills in order to understand the relationships between lipreading and visual impairment. We then can explore training strategies to improve auditory and...
Reading, Vision Function and Disease Progression in Early to Intermediate AMD
Most prior research on reading in people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has focused on those with advanced disease. The first goal of this project is to examine the visual, motor, and cognitive factors that contribute to reading performance in people with early to...
