Marvin L. Sears during research discovered a reaction in the eye that could help with glaucoma and reduction of pressure in the eye. This led to the development of Timolol, a drug which is designed to reduce eye pressure. For this project I will be using slides of my grandfather\u2019s research, along with his comments. I will also be speaking with current eye surgeons in order to discuss how that development has affected the field of ophthalmology and how it may still affect the field. I also have found interviews from the NIH on the internet. For this project I will be using the story mapping software from arcmaps, which will be used to display the slides and information in an informative way. \u00a0I will need to be able to digitize my grandfather\u2019s slides, and a scanner for larger photos. I have acquired the slides and am in the process of going through them. The challenge will be communicating with my grandfather about the slides I selected and finding further documentation then what he has.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This project is significant because it is following an important development in the ophthalmological field.
