College member Angela Bishop FCOptom sponsors new undergraduate research scholarship
The College of Optometrists has announced a new undergraduate research grant, the Angela Bishop Undergraduate Research Scholarships for Paediatric Optometry and Binocular Vision.
“I hope that research will lead to a better understanding of problems at birth and in the development of binocular vision, enabling a more accurate identification of problems at a very much earlier stage. Treatment can then be tailored to be significantly more effective.”

“We’re pleased to extend our programme of undergraduate research funding this year with the new Undergraduate Research Scholarships for Paediatric Optometry and Binocular Vision, which we are able to do thanks to the generous support of Angela Bishop. The College has a long history of providing financial and practical support to students, early career academics and researchers as part of its commitment to building the evidence base for optometry.”
Michael Bowen, Director of Research and Knowledge at The College of Optometrists
