Duties Professor of the Graduate School Teaching Optometry 441A-C. Specialty Clinics

Research Interests High Resolution Neuroscience in Humans Single Cone Psychophysics We are using Austin Roorda’s adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AOSLO) for human psychophysics (for details go to Roorda’s information). The AOSLO has the capability of stimulating individual cones repeatedly, with the ability to go to the same cones over years. AOSLO’s unique capabilities enable …

Research Interests Clinical psychophysics and basic aspects of human color vision; binocular vision Basic studies of chromatic organization of human parafoveal retina. These psychophysical studies address the general issue of chromatic organization of sensitivity control at parafoveal locations as compared with the fovea. Studies of mechanisms of visual loss with aging. Vision changes with age …

Duties Senior Lecturer Emeritus Diplomate in Binocular Vision and Perception (AAO) Teaching Optometry 240. Diagnosis and Treatment of Sensory/Motor Anomalities Instructor-in-Charge Diagnosis and treatment of heterophoria, accommodative, vergence and oculomotor anomalies including sensory anomalies and amblyopia; rationale and methods for treatment with lenses, prism, occlusion, and vision training; design and implementation of treatment programs.

Duties Member of groups in Neuroscience, Bioengineering, and Biophysics; and the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute Research Interests Central Visual Pathways: Systems and Computational Neuroscience Our laboratory is concerned with the neural organization of central visual pathways in the brain. We are interested in how visual information is encoded, transmitted and detected. We seek to determine …

Duties Dean Emeritus, School of Optometry, 1980-1992 Research Interests Effects on vision resulting from anomalies of photo-receptor orientation I have demonstrated that there were effects on vision resulting from anomalies of photo-receptor orientation through measurements of the Stiles-Crawford Effect (directional sensitivity of the retina) in a number of disorders and diseases. I also first demonstrated …

Research Interests Visual space perception and sensory combination My research involves three topics: (1) the use of motion and stereoscopic information to determine the spatial layout of the visible environment and one’s motion through that environment, (2) the combination of information from more than one sense modality (e.g., vision and touch), (3) the construction and …

Teaching Optometry 251. Low Vision Instructor-in-Charge Epidemiology and etiology of low vision; optical principles of low vision aids; optometric examination and treatment of the low vision patient; interdisciplinary rehabilitation resources, counseling, and referral. Vision Science 202. Optical System and Physical Optics Contributing Instructor Principles of optical systems; principles and clinical applications of apertures and stops; …

Research Interests Professor Van Sluyters is currently engaged in full-time administrative duties; his laboratory will be inactive until further notice. Past research in the Van Sluyters laboratory focused on Mammalian Developmental Visual Neurobiology, in particular, determining the extent to which development of connections in the central visual pathways of mammals is guided by environmental, as …
