Dr. Ravid Doron (Ph.D)

Senior Lecturer, Clinic Instructor and Director of undergraduate final projects at Strauss Campus, Department of Optometry and Vision Science

Dr. Ravid Doron (Ph.D)

BA (B.Optom) from Bar-Ilan University in Life Sciences, Master's degree and Ph.D from Tel Aviv University in Medical Science, Visual Neuroscience.

Fellow of the Israeli Optometric Association.

Dr. Doron's research interests include assessment of visual perception during development (children and adolescents) and in pathological conditions.
Dr. Doron works in collaboration with researchers from Hadassah College, Bar-Ilan University and the Hebrew University.

Dr. Doron teaches a variety of courses as part of the undergraduate and graduate programs in optometry, Clinic Instructor at the optometry clinics, and Director of undergraduate final projects at Strauss Campus. She is a member of several academic committees including the Ethics Committee for approval of clinical studies.

Dr. Doron participates in the "Evidence-Based Practice" project which is part of the Erasmus OCULUS program.

The main area of research is understanding mechanisms that support visual perception.
The studies combine clinical, physiological and behavioral research methods.

Her Ph.D research project was to study the development of visual functions processing during the early childhood period and the neural relationship of these functions.

Dr. Doron investigates visual perceptual changes and functional implications in children with a history of congenital biliary cataracts, children with deficits in object and facial recognition, and in perceptual changes in keratoconus patients.
