VISION FOR THE FUTURE Improved mobility for the elderly, the blind, and the vision-impaired. A better understanding of how our visual circuitry develops. Clearer ways to identify and monitor diseases at early onset. In these pages, you’ll read about three IUSO faculty members—Dr. Shirin Hassan, Dr. Rowan Candy, and Dr. Stephen Burns—whose research is changing our vision of what future practice will look like. Through their groundbreaking studies, IUSO faculty are looking for results that will transform clinical practice and translate to better, healthier lives for the patients that optometrists and ophthalmologists treat every day. —Dr. Joseph A. Bonanno, O.D., Ph.D. 4 VISION FOR THE FUTURE | ANNUAL REPORT 2012
