Visual Perception in Amblyopia

Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental disorder of vision characterized by reduced visual acuity even with the best optical correction. The current project I am working on aims to characterize visual perception in people with Amblyopia (compared to controls). We hope to contribute to the development of a better understanding of the underlying neural basis for amblyopia, with the long-term goal of developing more effective diagnosis and treatment.

Message To Sponsor

Thank you so much for your support! Your generosity allows me to work on research aimed at improving how we diagnose and treat this condition. I am honored to contribute by designing experiments and collecting data to better understand how individuals with amblyopia perceive visual information. Participating in research has sharpened my ability to communicate complex ideas, embrace feedback, and think critically. It deepened my appreciation for research as a tool to advance care and reminds me of the importance of lifelong learning in medicine and science.
