G. Lynn Mitchell

About

G. Lynn Mitchell is an Associate Professor at the College of Optometry at Ohio State University. His research focuses on various aspects of vision science, including accommodative function, binocular vision, and contact lens-related risks. Mitchell has contributed to understanding how accommodative function affects symptoms and therapy responses in children with convergence insufficiency, as well as evaluating visual-verbal processing in adolescents with concussion. His work also involves developing tools such as contact lens risk surveys and assessing visual performance with different contact lens types in pediatric populations. Mitchell has authored numerous publications in reputable journals, advancing knowledge in optometric diagnostics, treatment efficacy, and epidemiology of ocular conditions.

• Visual Performance with Spherical and Multifocal Contact Lenses in a Pediatric Population

  Optometry and Vision Science · 2021 · 20 citations

  SIGNIFICANCE: This pilot study compared subjective and objective vision of children wearing single-vision and +2.00, +3.00, and +4.00 D add power soft multifocal contact lenses to determine whether the higher add power-thought to provide better myopia control-resulted in visual compromise. PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the maximum add power children wearing center-distance soft multifocal contact lenses could accept objectively and subjectively. METHODS: Myopic children were assigned in…

• Prescribing patterns for paediatric hyperopia among paediatric eye care providers

  Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics · 2023 · 11 citations

  PURPOSE: To survey paediatric eye care providers to identify current patterns of prescribing for hyperopia. METHODS: Paediatric eye care providers were invited, via email, to participate in a survey to evaluate current age-based refractive error prescribing practices. Questions were designed to determine which factors may influence the survey participant's prescribing pattern (e.g., patient's age, magnitude of hyperopia, patient's symptoms, heterophoria and stereopsis) and if the providers were…

• Near‐point Findings in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and in Typical Peers

  Optometry and Vision Science · 2021-04-01 · 11 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  SIGNIFICANCE: Clinicians can better diagnose and manage vision problems of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children by establishing a standard of care for this population. Results also reinforce the importance of a comprehensive binocular vision evaluation in all patients with ASD. PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were to compare near-point and ocular motility test findings in ASD children and typically developing (TD) peers and to compare findings among ASD children by level of verbal communi…

• Biometric and refractive changes following the monocular application of peripheral myopic defocus using a novel augmented-reality optical system in adults

  Scientific Reports · 2022-07-13 · 9 citations

  articleOpen access

  The prevalence of myopia is growing at an alarming rate and is associated with axial elongation of the eye. The cause of this undesirable physiological change involves multiple factors. When the magnitude of myopia approaches high levels, this accompanying mechanical effect increases the risk of developing other clinical conditions associated with permanent vision loss. Prior work has investigated how we may halt or reverse this process of axial elongation associated with myopic progression when…
