• 11NIH research projects

NIH-funded research (11)

Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.

• How our eyes move together and apart to see in 3-D

  A study at a leading eye research center is exploring how each eye moves on its own and how they work together to guide vision, which could improve understanding and treatment of eye alignment problems like strabismus.

• Bilirubin-related vision difficulties in children after neonatal jaundice

  This project studies how newborn jaundice with high bilirubin may impact vision and brain areas involved in seeing later in childhood.

  NIH research Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute · San Francisco, United States · NIH-11368333

• How people with central vision loss aim and keep things in view

  This project looks at how people with central vision loss from conditions like age-related macular degeneration move their eyes and head to find and keep things in view during everyday tasks.

  NIH research Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute · San Francisco, United States · NIH-11309171

• Maximizing Visual Potential for People with Age-Related Macular Degeneration

  This grant investigates how people with age-related macular degeneration adapt their eye movements and attention to use the best remaining vision to perform everyday tasks.

  NIH research Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute · San Francisco, United States · NIH-11298071

• How attention can change eye suppression in amblyopia (lazy eye)

  This project tests whether directing attention to the weaker eye can reduce visual suppression for adults with amblyopia (lazy eye).

  NIH research Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute · San Francisco, United States · NIH-11285207

• How the brain coordinates both eyes

  Looking at whether separate brain areas let each eye move on its own or move together, which could help people with eye alignment problems like strabismus.

  NIH research Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute · San Francisco, United States · NIH-11116893

• Understanding how people with central vision loss stabilize their gaze

  This study looks at how people with central vision loss, especially from age-related macular degeneration, move their eyes and keep their gaze steady in daily life, aiming to understand the challenges they face when looking at different objects and moving around, so we can find better ways to help them get around safel

• A 'Point and Listen' Tool for People with Vision Loss

  This project is creating a new smartphone and wearable app that helps people who are blind or visually impaired 'hear' information about objects they point to.

  NIH research Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute · San Francisco, United States · NIH-11046532

• Understanding how attention affects vision in lazy eye

  This study is looking at how focusing your attention can help improve vision in adults with lazy eye, and it aims to find new ways to treat this condition by understanding how the brain works in these situations.

  NIH research Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute · San Francisco, United States · NIH-11030313

• Understanding depth perception in individuals with lazy eye

  This study is looking at how people with lazy eye see depth and if their side vision plays a role in that, with the goal of finding better ways to help improve their vision.

  NIH research Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute · San Francisco, United States · NIH-10898776

• Understanding how the brain controls eye movements

  This study is looking at how our eyes work together and can move independently, especially for people with strabismus, to find better ways to understand and treat eye movement issues.
