• 16NIH research projects

NIH-funded research (16)

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.

• Understanding how myopia and glaucoma are connected through eye mechanics

  This study looks at how eye growth in myopia may influence glaucoma risk and what markers could identify it early.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-11418938

• Saccade target choice in natural viewing

  A study exploring how the brain quickly picks where to look next in real-world scenes, with potential relevance to ADHD-related attention challenges.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-11369998

• Using tiny RNA signals to help retinal cells and restore vision

  Looking at tiny genetic switches called microRNAs to guide retinal cell development and turn support cells into working vision cells for people at risk of blindness.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-11345288

• How the eye grows and becomes nearsighted, seen cell by cell

  This work looks at individual eye cells in a primate model to learn why eyes grow too long and cause nearsightedness in children so future treatments can be improved.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-11178474

• Understanding how the brain processes sounds in primates

  This study looks at how the brain helps us make sense of tricky sounds, which could help people with hearing problems understand their condition better.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-11164973

• Multisensory rehabilitation for people with ultra-low vision

  This project will see if combining sound, touch, and remaining vision helps people with ultra-low vision carry out everyday tasks more easily.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-11142506

• How Our Eyes Choose What to Look At in Everyday Life

  This research explores how our eyes quickly decide where to focus, especially in busy environments, which could help us understand conditions like ADHD.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-11134107

• How your eye's light and dark channels affect vision and nearsightedness

  Looks at how the eye's 'ON' (light) and 'OFF' (dark) channels respond in people with nearsightedness compared with people who have normal distance vision.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-11127135

• How Amblyopia Affects How Children See Shapes

  This project explores how children with amblyopia, also known as 'lazy eye,' might see shapes differently, which could affect their reading.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-11089384

• Investigating how specific microRNAs affect retinal cell development and reprogramming.

  This study is looking at tiny molecules called microRNAs to see how they help retinal cells grow and work properly, which could lead to new ways to treat vision loss from eye disorders.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-11046603

• How myopia affects eye cells and its link to glaucoma risk

  This study is looking at how being nearsighted might affect the cells and blood vessels in your eyes, which could increase the chance of getting glaucoma, and it's for anyone interested in understanding how myopia can lead to changes in eye health.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-11010024

• Creating a rehabilitation program for people with very limited vision

  This study is testing a new rehabilitation program that uses sights, sounds, and touch to help people with very limited vision improve their daily activities and overall quality of life.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-10928273

• Understanding how the eye grows and develops myopia at a cellular level

  This study is looking at how children's eyes grow and develop myopia (nearsightedness) to find out what causes these changes, with the hope of discovering better ways to prevent or treat myopia in kids.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-10913471

• Exploring the link between myopia and glaucoma through cellular mechanisms

  This study is looking at how having myopia (nearsightedness) might raise the chances of getting glaucoma, a serious eye disease, and it aims to find ways to help protect your vision by tracking changes in your eyes over time.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-10872182

• Understanding vision problems in amblyopia and their brain basis

  This study is looking into how amblyopia affects the way people see things, especially how their brains understand different directions, to help find better ways to treat this common vision issue.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-10843859

• Understanding how we choose where to look in our environment

  This study is looking at how our brains help us quickly focus our eyes on things we want to see, like when we're reading or driving, to better understand how we choose what to look at in everyday life.

  NIH research State College of Optometry · New York, United States · NIH-10692692
