Looking past the rivalry: A Buckeye optometrist helps a wolverine!

Edward, a 2-year-old wolverine at San Francisco Zoo & Gardens, is seeing better thanks to a first-ever novel lens corrective procedure on a wolverine’s eye. Following a recent cataract surgery, he became the first wolverine to have a custom-made intraocular lens implanted in his left eye.

Ohio State Optometry's Dr. Don Mutti, an expert in intraocular lens measurements, was called upon to help.

“I wasn’t about to pass on a wolverine case. Even though I’m a loyal Buckeye, I just couldn’t leave an innocent wolverine in the lurch,” continued Dr. Mutti, referencing the Ohio State and Michigan mascots and the heated rivalry between those two universities. “Everyone deserves good vision.”

As for this Saturday’s Ohio State-Michigan football game, we presume Edward will be rooting for the Michigan Wolverines, but he may now have a soft spot for the Buckeyes after receiving their help.

Ohio State Optometry researchers are leading a national study to see if the onset of nearsightedness can be delayed – and consequently reduced in magnitude over a lifetime – with the use of eyedrops in young children.

Scientists at The Ohio State University and the University of Houston have received two grants from the National Institutes of Health totaling $25 million to test daily drops of atropine as a nearsightedness preventive therapy in children age 6-11 years old.
