講者介紹

Ian Bailey 從1976年開始擔任美國加州柏克萊大學視光與視覺科學教授，他於澳洲墨爾本大學、倫敦城市大學以及印第安納大學進行視光與研究訓練｡他是視光醫師與科學家，也是世界知名的低視能重建方面的權威｡

Bailey教授最知名的可能是他與 Jan Lovie-Kichin發展出視力檢查表的新設計原則(logMAR 和ETDRS)，以及介紹採用logMAR來計算視力值｡ Ian Bailey 在低視能者視光方面的照護上發展合理和科學化策略有非常重要的貢獻，同時研發出許多新的視覺臨床評估方面的測驗與程序，他因對視覺科學和低視能照護上的貢獻接收過許多榮譽和獎項，包括美國視光學會的 Prentice 勳章、國際光明之家的 Pisart獎及紐約州立大學的科學榮譽博士｡

Ian Bailey has been a Professor of Optometry and Vision Science at University of California at Berkeley since 1976. His optometric and research training came from the University of Melbourne, The City University in London and Indiana University. He is an optometrist and a scientist who is recognized as an international authority on low vision rehabilitation.

Professor Bailey is perhaps best known for his work with Jan Lovie-Kitchin developing new design principles for visual acuity test charts (logMAR and ETDRS) and introducing the method of scoring visual acuity in terms of logMAR. Ian Bailey has made important contributions towards the development of more rational and scientific approaches to optometric low vision care, and developed many new tests and procedures related to the clinical assessment of vision. He has received many awards recognizing his contributions to vision science and to clinical low vision care. These include the Prentice Medal from the American Academy of Optometry, the Pisart Award from Lighthouse International, and an honorary Doctor of Science Degree from the State University of New York.
