William Tuten

William Tuten is an Assistant Professor of Optometry & Vision Science at the University of California, Berkeley, affiliated with the School of Optometry. His research focuses on probing spatio-chromatic vision and investigating cellular-scale structure-function relationships in retinal diseases.

• Key research areas include: Color vision, Adaptive optics retinal imaging, Perimetry, Vision science, Spatial and chromatic vision, Retinal disease, Psychophysics, and High-resolution retinal imaging.

He employs single-cone psychophysics to study retinal circuitry and brain processing near the fovea, where human vision is sharpest. His work also develops multi-modal adaptive optics tools to examine degenerative retinal diseases, aiming to enhance understanding of disease progression and therapeutic responses.
