Dr. Marilyn Schneck

Marilyn Schneck

Scientist
Degrees: Ph.D.

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, 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...
