The Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022 has announced Aston University as its official partner, which will be loaning ophthalmic equipment and providing eye care services.
Aston’s School of Optometry has gathered a group of volunteer optometrists, dispensing opticians and ophthalmologists from across the UK to provide eye healthcare to the athletes and team officials as part of its three polyclinics. The games will be held between July 28 and August 8.
Dr Pam Venning, head of medical services at Birmingham 2022, said: ‘We are delighted to have Aston University on board as an Official University. Its School of Optometry is well-known for its innovation and world-leading education. Birmingham 2022 wouldn’t be possible without teams of volunteers, and we are looking forward to working with the optometrists, opticians and ophthalmologists.’
