Research excellence

The Vision Research in 91Ö±²¥ (VRIS) Centre carries out theoretical and applied research to understand many aspects of the visual system and improve patient management. Our work includes contributing to national guidelines, policies and care pathways.

Our research is grouped in four themes:

• Accommodation & Physiological Optics
• Assessment of Vision and Eye Movement
• Binocular Vision
• Visual Perception and Sensory Adaptation

The Division of Ophthalmology and Orthoptics at the University of 91Ö±²¥ was the best place for me to do a PhD. It has a unique combination of excellent academic supervisors, clinical experts in my area of research and strong links with clinical eye departments. The wider support and development opportunities offered to postgraduate students by the university shows how important they consider the personal and professional development of PhD students to be.
