The
Lions Vision Research Laboratory of Oregon has
conducted a wide range of cornea-, transplantation-,
and eye bank-related research studies since it
opened in 1987. Mark A. Terry, MD is the Scientific
Director for the Vision Research Lab. Dr. Terry
volunteers his time in this capacity as well as
in his additional role of Medical Director for
the Lions Eye Bank of Oregon.
The staff of the Lions Vision Research Laboratory
routinely presents their research findings to
other ophthalmic researchers at international
scientific meetings such as ARVO (the Association
for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology) and
AAO (the American Academy of Ophthalmology). They
also submit their results for publication in peer-reviewed
scientific publications.
