Alexandra Benavente-Perez MCOptom MS PhD
SUNY Optometry, Department of Vision Sciences
Current Position: Assistant Clinical Professor
Keywords Research Areas: refractive error development, myopia, emmetropization, peripheral refraction, ocular blood flow, vascular autoregulation, choroidal thickness measured using OCT
Research Focus:
  • Collaborative Clinical and Epidemiological Research/Clinical Trials
  • Glaucoma and Optic Neuropathies
  • Myopia and Other Refractive Errors
  • Retinal Diseases
Clinical Relevance:
  • Astigmatism/Refractive Errors
  • Glaucoma
  • Myopia/Hyperopia
  • Optometry
  • Vascular Diseases
Synopsis Of Research:

My main interests are emmetropization, the active visual control of eye growth, and the role of peripheral refraction in the development of refractive error and myopia. In the lines of emmetropization, I am also very interested in understanding the interactions between ocular biometry and vascular physiology.
