SUNY Optometry Researcher Publishes Study on Children’s Eye Development

NEW YORK—SUNY College of Optometry announced that Jingyun Wang, Ph.D., associate professor and director of the school’s Pediatric Vision Research Lab, has published a landmark study in Ophthalmic and Physiologic Optics examining the developmental patterns of eye growth in children with accommodative esotropia, a common form of childhood eye crossing associated with farsightedness. The study, titled “Longitudinal Development of Ocular Biometric Components and Refractive Error in Hyperopic Children with Infantile Versus Late-Onset Accommodative Esotropia,” is the first prospective, long-term analysis comparing two subtypes of this condition—those beginning in infancy and those with later onset.
