This year we welcomed two students to our fourth annual Summer Research Program, Ria Patel ’25 and Zhiming (Jimmy) Tu ’25. Ria spent the summer at ICO researching Post-Keratoplasty Contact Lens Fitting Considerations while Jimmy researched the Effect of Blink Rate and Viewing Condition on Computer Vision Syndrome. Thank you to the program mentors Jennifer Harthan, OD ’06, Lindsay Sicks, OD ’10, and Yi Pang, MD, OD, PhD for working with these students over the summer!

As always, we look forward to seeing how students will apply their research moving forward!
