An uninvited guest visited us for eye examination today UAB School of Optometry

Nice to see this in print! It was great working with you @drNicolaLogan and everyone else involved in this initiative.

The role of accommodation in #myopia development and progression has been debated for decades. A free IMI 2021 white paper reviews the mechanisms involved in accommodation and myopia development and progression. doi.org/10.1167/iovs.6… Aston Optometry UoM Biology, Medicine and Health #ophthalmology

The tea/coffee is going to taste so much sweeter thanks to Dr. Thomas Norton!

Our recently published paper in IOVS Journal attempts to identify sensitive and specific biomarkers of tear film thinning in dry eye disease. The full text is available at iovs.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?a…

If you do basic or clinical research related to myopia and are interested in publishing your methods as a video manuscript, please consider this method collection issue in JoVE. Details here: jove.com/methods-collec…

We are still accepting submissions for this special issue on myopia methods. Details here: jove.com/methods-collec…

Powerful thread to end 2021 on a positive note…

Dr. Safal Khanal was awarded a $100,000 grant by The E. Matilda Ziegler Foundation for the Blind. His project’s goal is to identify the neural candidate biomarker of eye growth and inform the retinal signaling mechanism underlying the development and progression of myopia.

Please help researchers @plymoptometry School of Health & Medical (Clerkenwell) UAB School of Optometry understand current myopia diagnosis & management practice patterns by completing a short survey (5-10 min). The results will provide valuable insight in managing this global epidemic. plymouth.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/knowledge-pers…

Great meeting, awesome location. Loads of science and fun. Thanks UAB CNC

This week, I joined 20 clinicians and scientists from across the US for education and advocacy at the Capitol Hill as part of the Emerging Vision Scientist program organised by the Alliance for Eye and Vision Research (AEVR)/ National Alliance for Eye and Vision Research (NAEVR).

New publication: In this paper, we describe a new animal model of myopia, providing evidence that, unlike contemporary myopia models, myopia produced by limited-bandwidth light closely mimics juvenile-onset slowly progressing myopia in children. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
