This NIH-funded project studies the development of eye focusing and alignment in infants and young children to prevent disorders like strabismus and amblyopia through clinical research and modeling.
Description
The research focuses on understanding how infants and young children develop the ability to focus and align their eyes despite visual immaturities, and how clinical conditions can disrupt this coordination. The studies aim to improve clinical care and prevent strabismus and amblyopia by examining typical and atypical development of the visual system.
