Dr. William Tuten

Biography

William Tuten is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in Optometry and Vision Science. His research primarily focuses on color vision, adaptive optics retinal imaging, and perimetry. He explores the dynamics of spatial chromatic vision and employs psychophysical methods to probe visual percepts created by photoreceptor signals. His work involves understanding the structure-function relationships in retinal diseases, particularly those affecting rod and cone photoreceptors. Through innovative methods, including multi-modal adaptive optics, Tuten aims to enhance the understanding of the functional consequences of retinal degeneration and its treatment responses, ultimately striving to advance therapeutic interventions. His selected publications can be found on Google Scholar.
