View from the BCLA: We cannot do things in isolation

If a week is a long time in politics a year in optics must qualify as an eternity. The past 12 months has been a whirlwind in which time I have started a new role as full professor at Aston University, been named in the top 100 most influential people in world ophthalmology, helped build a charity hospital in Cambodia and now I find myself installed as the new president of the BCLA.

It is a huge honour and I look forward to pushing ahead with the terrific work started by Keith Tempany on myopia control and increasing awareness of the treatments available for myopia.
