Dr. Christopher A Clark received his O.D. in 2005 from the New England College of Optometry. He then completed a research fellowship at the Borish Center for Ophthalmic Research through Indiana University. Dr. Clark completed his Ph.D. in Vision Science at the Indiana University School of Optometry. He has spent time doing clinical work at the Boston Foundation for Sight, Wenzhou Eye Hospital in China, and Donald Korb and Associates, amongst other places. Dr. Clark has won multiple awards including the GPLI Clinical Excellence Award and the Heart of America Contact Lens student award.

Education

• Doctor of Optometry, New England College of Optometry (2005)
• Ph.D. in Vision Science, Indiana University School of Optometry (2013)

Research

Dr. Clark’s research is in the area of retinal imaging and refractive development. This may have applications for contact lens treatment option to slow myopia progression.
