Aston university professor of optometry and physiological optics Nicola Logan will deliver a public lecture on the importance of treating myopia in children on March 11 at Aston Business School.
In the lecture, ‘Unveiling myopia: Changing the paradigm from correction to control’, professor Logan will detail the strategies to control eye growth in children and how these translate to clinical practice.
‘I have been interested in myopia since I developed it aged 10. It is a lifelong condition with many unanswered questions as to why it develops and progresses. At Aston University, I’ve had the freedom to research in the field of myopia amidst a supportive, collegiate environment,’ she said.
Professor Leon Davies, professor of optometry and physiological optics and interim head of the School of Optometry, added: ‘As a global expert in myopia and an internationally respected presenter, Professor Logan’s inaugural lecture will fascinate anyone interested in vision, as she explores the innovative approaches clinical researchers are developing to manage myopia now and in the future.’
