The equipment available to professionals working in the eye care sector continues to develop rapidly, with both steady improvements to existing types of diagnostic equipment and the introduction of new equipment. Research into the way optometric equipment is being used and the impact these uses are having on the provision of eye care is important to ensure that these developments continue to enhance care, rather than introduce confounding factors or new complications.
The project was funded through the College's Postgraduate Scholarship programme and was undertaken by City University London.
