He spent much of his working life at the Dartmouth Eye Institute, to which he was appointed by Adelbert Ames, Jr.. He made significant contributions to the understanding of human binocular vision. In 1967, he won the Tillyer Medal, awarded by the Optical Society of America. He died less than two months after retiring from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where he had begun working as a consultant in 1947.
