In collaboration with CooperVision and the museum, there is also an exhibit titled "The Great Wonder Seekers Adventure," featuring engaging information on myopia and the importance of early intervention. Screenings will take place from 12-2pm and are free with paid admission to the museum.

Congratulations to Sara Patterson, PhD, who has received a Career Development Award from Research to Prevent Blindness. She is using specialized adaptive optics imaging and electrophysiology to investigate the mechanism of optokinetic nystagmus (OKN), a reflexive eye movement that stabilizes vision during head and body movements. Patterson will systematically examine how retinal and cortical direction selectivity integrate in the nucleus of the optic tract. We can't wait to see the results of all your great research!

Dr. Rajeev Ramchandran wanted to share that August is Children's Eye Health and Safety Month. We'll have more on kids eye health as the month goes on!
