If you are involved in clinical myopia management, Can you spare 10 minutes to complete a short survey aimed at understanding current myopia diagnosis and management practice patterns. @drSafalKhanal @BykiHuntjens @asmazahidi
Please help researchers @plymoptometry @CityUniHealth @UABSO understand current myopia diagnosis & management practice patterns by completing a short survey (5-10 min). The results will provide valuable insight in managing this global epidemic. https://t.co/AfxRMz1Db2

An excellent explaination about #colour #blindness by our colleague @mrj_vision @PlymOptometry @PlymUni
Yesterday I had a chat with Tammy and Oscar on BBC Hereford and Worcester radio (@bbchw) about how colour vision deficiency affects how we see the world. It was an exciting experience, thanks for having me on the show. 📻📻 📻 https://t.co/dO6zF2HDsb (Scroll to 1:17:00)
