个人简介
Williams' research program marshals the latest optical technology arising from fields such as microscopy and astronomy to address questions about the fundamental limits of human vision as well as the causes of retinal disease. Using interference fringes applied to the retina, he demonstrated the existence of aliasing by the human foveal cone mosaic, clarifying how the discrete sampling properties of the eye impact human visual resolution. His research team demonstrated the first adaptive optics system for the eye, showing that vision can be improved beyond that provided by conventional spectacles. This work lead to wavefront-guided refractive surgery used throughout the world today. His group also demonstrated the first closed-loop adaptive optics ophthalmoscope, which is now widely used to study the normal and diseased retina of the living eye at a microscopic spatial scale. Williams, in close collaboration with William Merigan and Juliette McGregor, has more recently developed a method to optically record from retinal ganglion cells in the living primate eye. Moreover, the team has also demonstrated the ability to optogenetically restore ganglion cell function in the intact primate. These methods together establish a two way communication link with the primate retina, which they are currently exploiting to understand retinal basis for foveal vision as well as to develop an optogenetic approach to restoring vision in the blind.
