His clinical and research interests include low vision rehabilitation and eccentric viewing training, visual perception of field loss, retinal disease, reading eye movements, pediatric optometry, and diseases of the optic nerve and visual pathway. His publications can be found in Optometry and Vision Science and Investigative Ophthalmology and Vision Science. Outside of clinic, Dr. Pratt enjoys time with family and the great outdoors. He has served in the community as a scoutmaster, a youth mentor, an ecclesiastical leader, a soccer coach, and a foster dad. He is excited to work with students and help them on their path to becoming compassionate, skilled clinicians.
