Vision improvement
Overview
QUT is at the forefront of a range of research developments which underpin major technological advances in the correction of defects of vision, the diagnosis and assessment of ocular and vision problems, and the functional impact of vision impairment.
The Vision Improvement Domain brings together eye and vision researchers from the School of Optometry and Vision Science and other related disciplines. The Vision Improvement Domain and School of Optometry and Vision Science have an international reputation for excellence in research, with researchers receiving international awards recognising long-standing research excellence. Research results are published in high ranking international journals, as well as professional journals to promote the translation of research into clinical practice.
