A Study on Myopia (Nearsightedness)

Researchers from the UAB School of Optometry are currently recruiting those with myopia to participate in a research study. The purpose of this study is to investigate the short-term effects of image blur and wavelengths on the light on the length of the eye and thickness of the choroid. If you are eligible to participate in our study, you will attend two study visits. During each study visit, you will be asked to watch a short film. We will collect images and measurements of the eye during the film. Both study visits are expected to last 90 minutes. You will be compensated $100 for your time after you complete both visits.
