Vivid Vision to Employ Patented Device Invented by SUNY Optometry Faculty The San Francisco-based eye care start-up has signed an exclusive license agreement with The Research Foundation for The State University of New York to employ a new device to treat lazy eye and other disorders of binocular vision invented by Dr. Benjamin Backus, an associate professor at the College, with his colleagues Dr. Kenneth Ciuffreda and Dr. Diana Ludlam. The patented system uses eye tracking to provide direct and precise binocular visual stimulation at known locations on the retinas of both eyes simultaneously. “It’s exciting to see this basic science research idea being developed in a real-world product to help people see better.” – Dr. Benjamin Backus Dr. Benjamin Backus Dr. Kenneth Ciuffreda Dr. Diana Ludlam
