Research summary

Thomas W. Raasch's research focuses on the optics of the human eye, including how refractive errors (like nearsightedness or astigmatism) are measured and corrected, and how visual aids such as bioptic telescopes help people with low vision drive safely. His work combines instrument design, such as wavefront sensors that measure eye imperfections, with practical studies on vision and driving performance for visually impaired individuals.
