Research Focus:
Dr. Yang has been working at the Devers Eye Institute Optic Nerve Head Research Laboratory (ONHRL), which is funded to study the effects of aging, glaucoma, and myopia on the neural and connective tissues of the optic nerve head using 3D histomorphometric reconstructions. This research has now expanded to include the use of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to phenotype the optic nerve head, macular tissues, and peripapillary sclera in both monkeys and humans. This work has significantly contributed to a paradigm shift in how human patients with glaucoma or those at risk for developing the disease are imaged using OCT. Myopia Research Project Looking for Participants:WHAT: Participate in the study Myopia related ONH Progression in Children, Teens, and Young Adults to help us learn about and better understand the features of myopia to help patients in the future. Participants will be evaluated every six months over an 18-month period, totaling four exams using clinical imaging devices. Exam time is 1.5-2 hours. REQUIREMENTS: Ages 6-22 with nearsightedness, ranging from-2D to -0.5D, family history of myopia, or axial lengths at an age at risk of developing myopia with a 50% chance or more. COMPENSATION: $50 per exam after completion. Primary Contact: Jason Li-Zhao (jlizhao@deverseye.org) This study has been approved by the Legacy Institutional Review Board at Legacy Research Institute. |
