Personal profile
Professional Information
I'm an orthoptist and clinical researcher. I completed my PhD at the University of Western Australia on the relationship between time spent outdoors and risk of myopia as an adult. I have experience in ophthalmic epidemiological studies and have published on studies on strabismus, amblyopia, retinal nerve fibre layer and keratoconus. Currently, my work focuses on emerging clinical treatments for myopia, including low-dose atropine.
