Associate Professor Hirota received the Japan Society of Ophthalmology Academic Paper AwardItabashi Campus

On Saturday, August 30, 2025, Masakazu Hirota, Associate Professor in the Department of Orthoptics Faculty of Medical Technology Teikyo University, received the 12th Japanese Society of Ophthalmology Academic Paper Award.
The Society was founded in 1965 with the goal of contributing to research and development of basic and applied issues related to visual science, lenses, optical instruments, and eye measurement instruments, and disseminates information based on medical evidence to society.

Associate Professor Hirota has demonstrated that when Augmented Reality (AR) images using Maxwellian vision are viewed in real space, a focus adjustment response occurs according to the distance of objects in the real space, a phenomenon that has been thought to be unnecessary for a century and a half since the principles were established in the 1860s. The results of this research were published in Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, a leading journal in the field of vision science, and the content of the research was highly acclaimed, leading to the award.

We look forward to Associate Professor Hirota's continued success in the future.
