19.01.2022 BHVI is seeking an Optometrist to undertake clinical research works under the Clinical Research and Trials Centre. Click for more: https://bhvi.org/news/position-available-optometrist/

15.01.2022 New findings from BHVI researchers PhD Candidate Nicole Liu, Prof. Thomas Naduvilath and Prof. Padmaja Sankaridurg, and partners at the Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Center (SEDPTC) have identified, through data from a two-year trial, that children who are late sleepers are a susceptible group to both myopia onset and progression. The identification and consistency of results with late sleepers being a susceptible group to both myopia onset and progression suggests a complex relationship between circadian rhythm, indoor environment, habitual indoor activities and myopia development and progression. The data offers new insights into risk factors for myopia, as well as decision-making of myopia prevention strategies. www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-74348-7

03.01.2022 Congratulations to Divya Jagadeesh, who has been awarded her PhD a culmination of four years of extensive research into predictive models for #myopia in children.

03.01.2022 As more information is released into the lay press about #myopia and its potential for vision loss, patients and parents may inquire about ways to slow its progression. They may also seek second opinions, which raises the question: When is treatment for myopic progression not warranted? https://bhvi.org//does-my-child-need-treatment-for-myopia/
