The 711th Human Performance Wing’s Operational Based Vision Assessment Laboratory is seeking volunteers to participate in a vision research and development study.

The purpose of the research is to develop and validate a battery of automated vision tests to supplement existing, manual Air Force vision tests.

OBVA is seeking individuals with a wide range of visual capabilities. Individuals with reduced quality of vision (e.g., reduced visual acuity, depth perception, color vision etc.) are welcome to participate.

To participate in the research, individuals must be a U.S. citizen and 18 years of age or older.

Participation in the study involves two or more one-hour sessions at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base or McConnell Air Force Base, competitive monetary compensation of $30 per hour and the potential to participate in future research studies.

To participate in the study or for additional information, contact Jefferson Fu at jefferson.fu@us.af.mil.
