Marilyn Schneck

Scientist Emeritus

Ph.D.

I have long been interested in and have studied the value of non-standard vision measures (i.e. measures other than high contrast acuity) as predictors of performance on important tasks of daily life, indicators of retinal status, and predictors of disease progression. I am particularly interested in assessing deficits in task performance in people with diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.

Reading in mTBI

People with mTBI often complain about dificulty in reading in spite of normal results in usual eye exams. We investigate this issue by looking at accommodation and reading rate and subjective measurement of reading difficuties for a variaty of reading
