About the Project
Many ocular conditions affect vision and visual performance, but less consideration is given to task performance and the impact of these conditions on tasks and activities of daily living. This project would investigate the effect of different ocular conditions, and their different treatment options, on a range of different tasks that affect daily living. The quantitative study would suit a candidate with a clinical background in orthoptics, optometry or ophthalmology.
Proposed start date: 01 March 2027
Entry Requirements:
Candidates must have a first or upper second class honours degree or significant research experience. Candidates should have a clinical background in orthoptics, optometry or ophthalmology, or similar.
