RESEARCH
First year medical school: Experimental canine ocular surgery at Coral Gables Veterans Administration
Hospital, Surgical Research Laboratory.
Summer 1966: Visual evoked cortical potentials and electrophosphores, with Thorne Shipley, Ph.D., at
Bascom Palmer Eye Institute (BPEI).
Second year medical school: Clinical pupillography and instrumentation, with J.A. Singer, M.D., at BPEI.
Summer 1967 and third year medical school: Simultaneous electroretinography and pupillography,
operating room television, afferent pupillary defects in retinal rivalry and amblyopia, pupillomotor perimetry
and the effect of intraocular pressure on pupil size, with Drs. E.W.D. Norton, J.T. Flynn, D.I. Hamasaki,
R.L. Brunner, R.H. Bresky at BPEI.
Summer 1968 and fourth year medical school: Including six month research elective in ophthalmology at
BPEI: Clinical electroretinography and electro-oculography, clinical pupillography, the early receptor
potential in experimental retinal detachment, the effect of visual deprivation on the visual system, and
clinical ultrasound, with Drs. J.T. Flynn, R. Machemer, O.J. Grusser. Course work in biomedical
engineering and computer programming.
During internship: HEW Research Fellowship for 12 months in extra hours. Early receptor potential in
experimental retinal detachment, with Dr. R. Machemer; experimental ocular siderosis with Drs. D.R.
Anderson and L. Mascuilli; experimental deprivation of choroidal blood flow, with Dr. H. Buettner, all at
BPEI.
During the first year of residency: ERP in experimental retinal detachment, development of an automated,
ocular fundus simulator for teaching, with Dr. M.S. Gordon and J.M. Parel.
