Professor Holden wins Academy honour for research achievements

Professor Brien Holden has received the Charles F Prentice Medal in recognition of his advancement of knowledge in vision science.

The Australian researcher was presented with the award, which was established more than half a century ago, at the annual American Academy of Optometry meeting in Denver, US last week.

Professor Holden said: ‘This award is a tribute to my outstanding research colleagues at Brien Holden Vision Institute worldwide, and my global collaborators. Since the early 1970s, along with colleagues at UNSW Australia, Sydney, I have been very fortunate to work with innovative, dedicated and talented people with a shared goal of providing vision for everyone everywhere.’
