Other activities
Since 1986 I have been a Regional Information Officer for the Association of Optometrists and in 2000 I accepted an invitation to join the College of Optometrists Professional, Clinical, and Ethical Advisory service. I am Optometric Advisor to the Nystagmus Network and to the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB).
In 1993 I gave advice to the College of Optometrists on the therapeutic use of coloured filters which was later incorporated into guidance that the College issued to the profession. Also with the College of Optometrists, I contributed to continuing education syllabi in dyslexia and binocular vision, co-author of the syllabus and Chair of the Subject Expert Panel for the higher Diploma in Orthoptics, am a member of the Higher Qualifications Exam Board, and the Working Group on Schoolchildren. I am also an examiner for the College of Optometrists Scheme for Registration Final Assessment and for the Diploma in Orthoptics.
I am author of five books, four on binocular vision anomalies and one on vision and dyslexia. In 2002 I was appointed as Associate Editor to the peer-reviewed journal, Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics.
I have been involved in several cases as expert witness, including clinical negligence and General Optical Council cases. These cases have included claims concerning orthoptics (binocular vision, strabismus, and amblyopia), paediatric eye problems, specific learning difficulties (dyslexia, including the use of coloured filters), and retinal detachment.
Although I am involved in several research studies and have authored over 180 papers, most of my working week is spent providing routine optometric eyecare in a community optometric practice. I have delivered over 250 invited lectures, most on continuing professional development courses for optometrists.
I have been external examiner to four PhD candidates (Simon
Barnard, City University, 1999; Catherine Porter, Manchester University, 2005;
Ben Wright, Essex University, 2008; Penny D’Ath, City University, 2008). I have
supervised two PhD students who have completed (Deacon Harle, viva and PhD
awarded in 2007; Rakhee Shah, viva 2009, PhD awarded subject to minor
amendments) and two more of my PhD students will be submitting in 2009.
