Summer 2000 - Indiana University School of Optometry

In This Issue
Profiled in this issue is Arthur Bradley, Ph.D., who
has been a faculty member in the IU School of Optometry
since 1985. His work on the FDA panel for ophthalmic
devices on the efficacy and safety of refractive surgery,
along with his expertise in visual function and visual optics,
make him uniquely suited to objectively evaluate the current
status of the most common refractive surgery procedures.
His article, "The Changing Face of Refractive Surgery," is
an excellent distillation of a wide variety of published
literature and source materials. He touches upon a number
of issues often not considered in other discussions of
refractive surgery.
Quantification of corneal contour has been a
necessary element in the development of keratorefractive
surgery. The Indiana University School of Optometry has
made contributions to corneal contour assessment and
quantification methods. A short history of the IU
contributions in this area and of the development of
keratoscopy is presented in this issue. Also in this issue
are a review of an article on the use of progressive addition
lenses for the control of childhood myopia progression and
some news items from the IU School of Optometry.
