Through A Blurred Lens: Vision, Myopia, Face Processing, and Autism Research with Dr. Eric Hussy
Through A Blurred Lens: Vision, Myopia, Face Processing, and Autism Research with Dr. Eric Hussy
Course Description
Through a Blurred Lens: Vision, Myopia, Face Processing, and Autism – Alarming Trends in New ResearchDescription: This talk connects the dots between impaired face detection and the documented rise in autism diagnoses, digging into what we predicted, what we discovered, and what still caught us off guard. We’ll revisit how face detection is disrupted in Alzheimer’s, how our “Orca” COVID-era myopia survey was vindicated by post-pandemic data, and how astigmatism unexpectedly joined myopia in a lockdown-fueled surge. Finally, we’ll circle back to face detection development—what it needs to thrive, how it’s vulnerable, and how a new open-access study with goldmine-level supplemental data hints at a broader developmental cost we’re only beginning to understand.
Instructor Bio
Dr. Eric Hussey graduated from Pacific University College of Optometry. He currently serves on the board of OEPF as President, is the chair of NW Congress of Optometry and serves as treasurer and as the liaison to the education committee, including the Affiliated Meetings Committee, which includes all of the regional congresses. He has published over thirty papers (almost all peer-reviewed), and he has one in review now. The title of the new paper beginning with “Who’s on First?” may suggest some level of neuro-nerddom. With one foot in the real world of the clinic and real patient problems, and the other foot in the world of clinical research, he keeps us going toward better and better care of your vision.
