My research groups

Research in Eyes, Vision and Optometry (REVO group) REVO is a multidisciplinary research group investigating aspects of vision and eye care.

My ongoing research projects

Project: Incidence of Myopia and Risk Factors affecting the Progression of Myopia Myopia is becoming more common among children across all regions of the world, and the onset of myopia is occurring…
