I was fitted with contact lenses as a teenager and that made an impression on me. I looked at optometry in more detail and decided I liked the idea of working in a role that combines both biology and physics.
After I qualified as an optometrist, I did a PhD on the topic of peripheral vision. This got me interested in what happens when patients don’t have central vision. I then started doing some clinical work in low vision, and incorporated it into my teaching.
