The School of Optometry is one of the five academic units in the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences and is a research hub in Optometry with international recognition. The School focuses on two research areas, namely myopia and the ageing eye. The aim of our myopia research is to unravel the cellular mechanism of myopia and develop clinical interventions to prevent and halt its development and progression. Our ageing eye research focuses on understanding the physiological ageing processes leading to vision loss and the pathogenesis of age-related eye diseases including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and retinal degeneration.
The School invites high calibre students with evidence of academic excellence, research ability and good communication skills to apply for Master of Philosophy (MPhil).

We are carrying out research to discover why myopia develops, ways to retard its development and approaches to minimise its impact on public health. To achieve this goal, staff members are undertaking research in the following areas:
