The purpose of my study is to investigate how well you can see in the central and peripheral visual field with your glasses and compare it with contact lens correction.
I am looking for participants between the ages of 18 and 30 who are short-sighted (more than -5.00 D) and have low astigmatism (less than 0.75 D). Volunteers will be asked to visit the Bradford School of Optometry and Vision Science in the University of Bradford. The experiment will take 3 to 5 hours, and can be done in multiple sessions.
If you are interested in participating or if you would like more information about the study and what is being asked of you, please contact Miss Jessica MacIsaac (tel. 07861 540562), or email J.C.Macisaac@bradford.ac.uk.
Thank you in anticipation
