Duke VISION Magazine Profile

Posted on July 10, 2023 by Maria Gorlatova

Sarah Eom’s research on augmented reality for retinal laser therapy is profiled by the Duke Eye Center VISION Magazine.  This project, done in collaboration with Miroslav Pajic (Duke ECE) and Majda Hadziahmetovic (Duke Ophthalmology), not only demonstrates a new application of augmented reality, but also advances the state of AR support for detail-oriented tasks broadly.

In February 2023 Sarah Eom received the Duke University Eye Center Research to Prevent Blindness Small Grant Award to continue advancing this work.
