Ϲ Vision Scientists
Our vision science team is led by 12 faculty researchers, including seven who work right alongside faculty physicians at the Eye Institute. Their diverse research interests mean Ϲ is home to a wide array of research resources.
Over the past 40 years, the Ϲ Eye Institute has developed its Vision Science Research into a solid platform for innovation, collaboration and discovery. Vision research continues to grow not only within the Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences, but also throughout the vision science community we have shaped on campus, allowing Ϲ to be a leader in vision research.
