Sherry Day serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the University of Michigan Medical School. Her clinical expertise spans specialty contact lens fitting for complex conditions including keratoconus, irregular astigmatism, multifocals, post-corneal grafts, and aphakia, alongside comprehensive low vision evaluations to enhance functional vision through optical and electronic aids.
Dr. Day's research centers on low vision rehabilitation, with emphasis on environmental influences like home lighting on physical activity in visually impaired adults. Her work explores vision-related quality of life in severe peripheral vision loss, head-mounted display technologies for vision enhancement, and hospital accessibility for blind patients. Key methodologies include qualitative interviews, patient-reported outcomes, and large-scale surveys of low vision service utilization.
Analysis of her publication timeline (2006-2025) reveals consistent focus on patient-centered outcomes in visual impairment. Early work established baseline traits of low vision patients, while recent studies examine technological interventions and environmental modifications. A dominant trend involves translating clinical findings into practical applications—such as lighting adjustments to boost home activity or smartglasses for retinal projection—with strong emphasis on real-world impact over pure theoretical exploration.
