Looking into the eye of ADHD. Investigating the relationship between ADHD, the delayed circadian rhythm and the functioning of the eye.

The aim of this project is to investigate associations between visual system functioning, ADHD, and the circadian rhythm. We will also investigate the effects on the functioning of the visual system of commonly used treatments for ADHD and related disorders: methylphenidate, light therapy, and melatonin. In case we find visual system deficiencies that are specific to ADHD, the development of an objective diagnostic test for ADHD will come closer.
