“The Garland Clay award recognizes the most important paper published in Optometry and  Vision Science over the past five years. This year’s award recognizes work by Don Mutti and  colleagues who studied how the components of the eye grow and change throughout childhood,”  stated Michael Twa, OD, PhD, FAAO, on behalf of the OVS Editorial Board. “Their elegant  research studied hundreds of children to establish normative growth curves and developmental  expectations for human vision. This work will have a lasting impact on our understanding of  refractive errors and the mechanisms underlying their progression.” 

“It’s hard to express how grateful the Berkeley Infant Biometry (BIBS) team is to the families  and the babies – who are now old enough to have families of their own – for their contributions  to the research that meant enough to others to be worthy of this recognition. Without their  participation, emmetropization and the growth of the eye are still a mystery,” said Donald Mutti,  OD, PhD, FAAO, Clay award recipient. 

The Garland W. Clay award recipients will be recognized during the Awards Ceremony on  Friday, October 13, at 8:00 am during Academy 2023 New Orleans. The ceremony will be held  in Ballroom C of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. One hour of CE credit can be accrued  during this two-hour event.
