Eye TVR: Eye Trauma and Visual Restoration Team

Abstract

The EyeTVR team conducts applied research aimed at saving and restoring sight to the war fighter who suffers traumatic eye injury. The larger goal is also to help veterans and their family members who suffer from eye injury, eye infection, and inherited or age-related eye disease. The research achieved the following aims: (1) developed a dual-band OCT system for investigating the spectral contrast for the diagnosis of early damage to the retinal nerve fiber layer; (2) investigated millimeter wave stimulation for functional retinal diagnostics; (3) conducted experiments on active sensor for mobility aid to blind; (4) developed an advanced neural interface system for a cortical visual prosthesis.
