Seeing the Future: Research on Vision and Eye Health
About this event
Join staff from ARU's Vision and Eye Research Institute (VERI) to find out more about their research relating to vision and eye health.
Clare Strongman, Monika McAtarsney-Kovacs and Hena Haque all work for VERI, which aims to carry out world class research in key areas in vision and eye, with our multi-disciplinary team of researchers and partners with a common mission of reducing the impact of global blindness.
This event is aimed at a general audience, and provides updates on some of our current research projects. If you are interested in eye related research, are a practitioner in a related area, or have lived experience of sight loss, then you are welcome to attend. There will be a question-and-answer session following each presentation. All presentations will be accessible for people with visual impairment.
