James Tribble has kindly summarised his presentation on the 1st of April 2016 as below. We thank him for his participation! The School Of Optometry and Vision Sciences is a successful unit with plenty of research that is very relevant to us as ophthalmologists. (and they are just down the road from the eye unit in Cardiff!)
