Dr. Liu is a faculty member in the College of Optometry and principle investigator for the Childhood Atropine for Myopia Progression (CHAMP) study.
When it comes to detecting problems with vision, it pays to start early, before brains are hardwired. In InfantSEE, a public health program in which Pacific participates, the patients may be as young as 6 months old.
Participants will receive all study-related visits, eye exams, eye drops and more for free.
Prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses are the most common treatment for myopia.
