Dr. John S. Werner is a Distinguished Professor at UC Davis Health, specializing in Ophthalmology. His research focuses on the neurophysiological computations that mediate human vision, particularly the changes associated with color and spatial vision across the lifespan and their relationship to retinal and optic nerve diseases. Dr. Werner employs psychophysical and electrophysiological methods alongside high-resolution retinal imaging techniques, including adaptive optics and optical coherence tomography, to study normal aging and age-related diseases that can lead to blindness. He has developed state-of-the-art imaging methods for studying the human retina at a cellular scale and has made significant contributions to our understanding of how the visual system adapts to changes in input signals due to aging and changes in the eye's optics.
