Laura Keywood awarded Naylor Prize

City University pre-reg optometrist Laura Keywood (pictured) has been awarded a coveted Naylor Prize for her research with the homeless.

Keywood’s final year project, ‘Causes and prevalence of preventable visual impairment and eye disease in homeless people in East London’, used information provided by charity Vision Care for Homeless People (VCHP).

VCHP chair Elaine Styles said: ‘It is a great achievement for Laura to have won one of these highly sought after awards. We hope the awareness created will encourage more within the world of optics to support our very worthwhile charity - volunteers and fundraisers are always needed.’
