Vision Development Research

The Vision Development Institute is dedicated to helping children with conditions that affect the normal development of vision, including strabismus (eye misalignment), amblyopia (decreased vision in one eye, sometimes called "lazy eye") and hypermetropia (far-sightedness). In particular, we are interested in creating new knowledge about the interactions between both eyes at the level of the brain’s visual areas and in finding better ways to recognize which children are at greatest risk for future vision problems.

We employ a variety of innovative tools and approaches to take us one step closer to medical answers for children and their families.
