2:00p-3:00p: Jaci Theis (CLight): Fixational Eye Movements: A Biomarker for Neurologic and Ophthalmologic Disorders
Abstract: We spend 80% of our visual experience fixating our gaze on objects of interest. Yet fixation is not a static state, but rather a combination of microscopic fixational eye movements (FEMs) that makes our “static” fixation a dynamic neurologic process. This lecture will review the pathoanatomy of FEMs at it’s present state and differentiate the functionality of microsaccades from macro-saccades. Additionally, it will bring forth an evidence-based discussion on the utility of FEMs in the diagnosis and treatment of neurologic and ophthalmologic disorders like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MS, TBI, maculopathy, and amblyopia.
Speaker bio: Jacqueline Theis, OD, FAAO is the Chief Medical Officer of C. Light Technologies as well as a practicing clinician in a multidisciplinary brain injury clinic and Assistant Professor at the Uniformed Services University, School of Medicine, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. She completed her optometric and residency training in neuro-optometry and binocular vision at the UC Berkeley School of Optometry (UCBSO). A previous Assistant Clinical Professor and founding Chief of the UC Berkeley Sports Vision and Concussion Clinic, Dr Theis has extensive clinical expertise and research experience in oculomotor deficits and visual abnormalities in brain injury, neurological disease & amblyopia.

Katsunori Okajima is a psychophysicist who’s worked in a variety of areas including color appearance, extended reality (AR/VR), and multimodal sensory interactions. He has an interest in high-resolution, especially as it pertains to melanopsin-containing ganglion cells. He’s hosted by Jack Werner and will be visiting the lab for a few hours on Monday, 27 March.
