Thank you for choosing the Meredith W. Morgan University Eye Center. We have cared for the eyes and U.C. Located in the Minor Hall Addition, the Meredith W.

Berkeley's School of Optometry is internationally recognized for its excellence in patient care as well as its leadership in vision research. Morgan University Eye Center is open to the public, as well as to the campus community of faculty, staff and students. The vision care needs of infants through the elderly are met. Doctors, working in our modern state-of-the-art facilities, can meet all of y

our vision care needs-from glasses and complete contact lens care to the specialized optometric and ophthalmological treatment of serious vision problems.

A new paper in the Journal of Clinical Investigation Insight for the NEI funded collaborative Glaucoma project of the Gronert and Flanagan Labs at Berkeley and Sivak Lab at the University of Toronto.

Prostaglandin analogues, such as latanoprost, are the first-line treatment to reduce ocular hypertension in the management of glaucoma. The mechanism of actions for latanoprost are not well defined.

The team discovered that in glaucoma patients a protective and anti-inflammatory lipid signal, lipoxin A4, was unexpectedly elevated in the aqueous humor.

Please join us in congratulating optometry alumna Sherry Day, OD, FAAO, on being selected as a 2026–27 Fulbright Scholar!

Dr. Day’s project will focus on expanding low vision rehabilitation in Taiwan through the development of training programs and a comprehensive care model at National Taiwan University Hospital.

By adapting U.S. best practices, the initiative aims to strengthen clinical capacity and improve quality of life for individuals with vision loss.

A new study published in Science Advances by Drs. Benjamin Chin, Martin Banks, Derek Nankivil, Austin Roorda, and Emily Cooper investigates an open question: what wavelength is brought into best focus by the human eye?

The findings suggest the eye relies on color-based mechanisms – not just sharpness – to guide focus, offering new insight into vision and potential approaches for slowing myopia.

An enthusiastic group of Berkeley faculty and alumni once again supported the annual San Francisco LightHouse Little Learners Beeper Egg Hunt, recently hosted at the California School for the Blind in Fremont, CA.

Over 30 families attended this well loved event, with the highlight being the beeper egg hunt for blind and visually impaired children. The children and their families (and Berkeley alums!) also enjoyed arts and crafts, face painting, music, and community!

Instagram Story Takeovers have become a regular feature on our school’s social media, offering glimpses into daily life at the Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry & Vision Science.

These takeovers are now easier to revisit, as we created a new webpage to organize them in one place!

The page includes links to takeovers from the past year, grouped by category, including first-year through fourth-year OD students, Vision Science PhD students, and some participating residents, faculty and staff.

A new paper from the Chung lab, “Altered retinal vasculature in amblyopia,” by Drs. Rijul Soans and Susana Chung, has been published in the special issue on Advances in Amblyopia Research in Vision Research.

The authors examined whether retinal blood vessel structure differs in adults with amblyopia compared to individuals with normal vision.

About the photo: Key features of retinal vasculature that were analyzed: vascular area, fractal dimension, vascular skeleton length, and vascular bifurcation points.

We are proud to share that Professor Emeritus Austin Roorda has been named one of the 2026 National Geographic 33, a distinction recognizing 33 extraordinary individuals around the world who are advancing bold ideas and meaningful solutions.

Dr. Roorda was honored alongside Ren Ng, Professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Berkeley, for their groundbreaking work at the frontiers of vision science. Their team recently developed a novel laser-based method that activates specific photoreceptor cells in the eye, allowing test subjects to temporarily perceive a previously unseen color – named “olo,” described as “the tealest teal you’ve never seen.”

In case you missed it: an article from our school's "See Magazine" has now been published on our website.

The article highlights the extraordinary life and career of Professor Gerald Westheimer, Berkeley’s charismatic centenarian vision scientist.

The story traces Westheimer’s path from fleeing N**i Germany as a teenager to becoming one of the most influential figures in modern vision science.

At 100 years young, Westheimer continues to engage with new technologies, mentor researchers, and contribute to the intellectual life of the Berkeley community.
