We are thrilled to congratulate four exceptional researchers on the completion of their PhDs, each contributing valuable insights to the field of optometry and vision science: Dr Elisa Wang explored attitudes and barriers to care in age-related macular degeneration, under the guidance of Scientia Professor Fiona Stapleton AO, Dr Angelica Ly, and Associate Professor Gordon Doig. Dr Suhyun Kweon investigated the link between sex hormones, meibomian gland dysfunction, and dry eye disease, supervised by Scientia Professor Fiona Stapleton AO and Associate Professor Michele Madigan. Dr Rebecca Dang focused on multifocal contact lenses for myopia, with supervision from Professor Isabelle Jalbert, Associate Professor Pauline Kang, and Associate Professor Alex Hui. Dr Sharon Ho's thesis was titled the application and implementation of primary care clinical decision support systems in retinal disease, supported and supervised by Dr Angelica Ly, A/Prof Gordon Doig and Scientia Professor Fiona Stapleton. Your dedication, curiosity, and hard work have made a lasting impact. We are proud to celebrate your achievements and excited to see where your research journeys take you next! #PhDGraduation #VisionScience #OptometryResearch #UNSWSOVS #ResearchExcellence

We are thrilled to announce that Professor Konrad Pesudovs has been awarded the prestigious Arthur Bennett Prize by The College of Optometrists UK for the global impact of his research in optometry and vision science. With over 130,000 citations and an H-index of 87, Professor Pesudovs is the world’s most cited optometrist. His groundbreaking work in patient-reported outcomes, Rasch analysis, and the development of ophthalmic item banks has transformed how we measure and understand visual performance and quality of life. From cataract surgery to diabetic retinopathy, his research continues to shape the future of eye care worldwide. Congratulations, Konrad! #Optometry #VisionScience #ResearchExcellence #ArthurBennettPrize #GlobalImpact #EyeHealth #PatientReportedOutcomes #Ophthalmology #OptometryResearch

Evidence Based Teaching in Optometry Author: Swarnalakshmi. M.R, M.Optom Assistant Professor, Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women Important competencies in any healthcare practice are the ability to think critically and work effectively. Students need to learn and apply critical thinking skills in their field. So, the ideal strategy for teaching these competences would be evidence-based practice.
