  • Ambylopia Research in Children
    • Penn State Hershey Eye Center researchers talk about their efforts to improve early detection of certain eye diseases. Dr. Joel Weinstein is studying brain wave patterns with the hope of developing a standard test to detect ambylopia in children at a very early age. The condition can significantly affect visual acuity, hand-eye coordination and depth perception. Dr. Greg Jackson is exploring whether a night vision test he has developed can lead to earlier detection and treatment for macular degeneration. The disease is a leading cause of blindness in older adults.
