MULTICENTER RESEARCH PROJECT MultiCenter Development of a Risk Assessment Survey for College-Aged Soft Contact Lens Wearers II The current phase of this project is informally titled “Red Eye Lite” and is a prospective fielding of the risk survey to SCL wearers with acute red eye as they present for care. This project is administered by Nova Southeastern University and funded by Alcon Research Limited. In addition to the NSU College of Optometry, sites include Indiana University School of Optometry in Bloomington, Ohio State University College of Optometry in Columbus, Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, Southern California College of Optometry in Fullerton, and State University of New York. As the research moves from a community-based project to a clinical setting, the newly identified NSU investigators are Melanie Crandall, O.D., Eva Duchnowski, O.D., Andrea Janoff, O.D., Perla Najman, O.D., Zoe Schinas, O.D. , and Heidi Wagner, O.D., M.P.H., FAAO (principal investigator).
