OPN Talks with David Williams

David Williams, Dean for Research in Arts, Science and Engineering at the University of Rochester and William G. Allyn Professor in The Institute of Optics, seeks to explore the fundamental limits of human vision. Williams, whose research team demonstrated the first closed-loop adaptive optics system for the eye, will discuss imaging single cells in the living retina in his plenary session keynote address at OSA’s Annual Meeting, Frontiers in Optics (FiO) 14-18 Oct. in Rochester, N.Y., U.S.A.

Williams and his colleagues are using adaptive optics and other imaging techniques to study the retina. His presentation at FiO will show how advanced optical methods applied to the eye can reveal how the normal eye works and the diseased eye fails.
