The goal of this
research program is to better understand how brain and vision develops
in infants who were born with visual or eye disorders. We are currently seeking 1-month old
to 8-month old infants who have or had the following conditions:
 Cataracts in one or both
eyes
Severe refractive error in
one eye (anisometropia)
Strabismus (specifically,
when one eye turns inward)
All of the assessments are safe, non-invasive
measures that we have used in previous studies in our laboratory to
test infants in the general population. The vision tests are carefully
designed to assess specific visual functions such as color and motion
processing. Basically, we
observe whether your infant looks at patterns on a computer monitor.
If your infant is 1 month to 8 months of age,
lives in the San Diego area, and you are interested in participating in
this study, please contact Dr. Bosworth at rbosworth@ucsd.edu (858) 822-0541
for more information.
