Abstract
I have been fortunate to spend portions of my career in each of private practice, industry, and academia. At some times, these occupations have dictated the research direction, whereas, at others, curiosity has been allowed to dominate. This has resulted in multiple avenues of inquiry (some might say, too many), along which I have traveled with a rich and varied cast of collaborators, who have all taught me a great deal. The privilege of being awarded the Charles F. Prentice medal provides me an opportunity to summarize some of these activities. Beginning with an attempt to use contact lenses to solve a problem for those affected by albinism, the story shifts to addressing some of the wider deficiencies of contact lenses, in particular the consequences of their oxygen permeability and tendency to induce discomfort toward the end of the day. After briefly considering some aspects of meibomian gland function, the narrative concludes with the latest investigations of neurological links between the cornea and migraine.
