Jerome Sherman, O.D., is perhaps optometry's most prolific writer, publishing over 650 clinical articles, research manuscripts, book chapters and two CDs. He is senior author of three books that were published in 2007, and has delivered over three thousand lectures both nationally and internationally. He has served as a contributing editor for several optometric

Based upon the integrity of the PIL- also known as the inner/outer (IS/OS) segment junction layer, we can predict patient's VA. The PIL/junction must be well defined in the fovea in order to achieve good VA. The PIL junction can be used as a "biomarker" for the photoreceptor (both rods and cones) integrity. Verhoff's membrane
