Carl Bassi

Carl Bassi is a Professor in the College of Optometry at the University of Missouri–St. Louis. His research spans optometry, visual perception, and disease diagnostics, with a focus on Alzheimer's-related vision changes and color vision assessment tools. He holds leadership roles including Institutional Review Board Chair.

Research integrates clinical optometry with neuroscience, developing novel diagnostic methods for visual impairments. His studies on macular pigment distribution and intraocular light scattering have informed therapeutic lens designs. Recent work addresses gender disparities in optometry compensation.

Articles emphasize empirical approaches to visual function measurement, with consistent themes in perceptual psychophysics and diagnostic innovation. Publications frequently appear in optometry and vision science journals, reflecting methodological rigor.
