Dr. Donald Mutti
Biographical Narrative
OTHER EXPERTISE
Dr. Donald Mutti received his Doctor of Optometry degree in 1982 from the School of Optometry at the University of California Berkeley. Following graduation, Dr. Mutti worked for CooperVision Ophthalmic Products,conducting in-house clinical research evaluating new contact lens designs and products. He co-holds a patent in soft contact lens design. He returned to Berkeley in 1988 as a National Eye Institute Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, receiving his PhD in 1992.
Dr. Mutti is currently the E.F. Wildermuth Foundation Professor in Optometry at The Ohio State University College of Optometry. He is a co-investigator with Dr. Karla Zadnik on the Collaborative Longitudinal Evaluation of Ethnicity and Refractive Error (CLEERE) Study, a National Eye Institute funded study of normal eye growth and risk factors for myopic refractive error now in its twentieth year. Dr. Mutti was also the Principal Investigator of the Berkeley Infant Biometry (BIBS) study, an eight year NEI-funded investigation of ocular component development and emmetropization in infancy. This study determined the timeline for the development of the optical and physical anatomy of the infant eye. This information will hopefully inform practitioners on the appropriate timing of infant examinations and the range of age-normal refractions.
Dr. Mutti is a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry, serving on the AAO Awards Committee. He received the Borish Award from the Academy in 1996, the Glenn A. Fry Award from the American Optometric Foundation in 2006, the Graduate Teaching Award in 2006 from the Graduate Organization in Vision Science, and the Herbert G. Mote Award for distinguished teaching in 2009 from the College's fraternity, Epsilon Psi Epsilon.
