18.01.2022 Congratulations to our Optometry supervisor and researcher, Rebecca Cox, on coming runner-up in QUTs 3-minute thesis finals! Rebecca explained why eye tests are so important for children, especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in remote areas: I tested the eyes of nearly 300 primary and high school children, and found that the 40 per cent of children who identified as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander were much less likely to have their eyes tested an...d 82 per cent who needed glasses did not have them. To ensure each Australian childs learning is maximised and help stop preventable blindness we must improve access to eye care services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. --- Every year at Back to School Health Checks, we find that around 1/3 of children seen by Optometry need further vision assessment. Give us a call on 3138 9777 if youd like to book your children in for January.

17.01.2022 Many people think that arthritis is a condition that affects mainly older people, however, inflammatory arthritis can affect children and young adults. The impact of inflammatory arthritis can be considerable and life changing but many people have a poor understanding of arthritis and the impact that it can have as shown in this video clip. Research shows that foot problems are very common in people who have inflammatory arthritis and there is a lack of specialised foot se...rvices for those with inflammatory arthritis in Australia. Professor Debbie Turner, a leading researcher and experienced podiatrist in the area of inflammatory arthritis is now working within the QUT Podiatry Clinic, helping to train the podiatrists of the future become more effective at helping people with inflammatory arthritis and foot problems. If you have arthritis and have been struggling with foot problems, please make an appointment at the QUT Health Clinics Podiatry Clinic. Phone our friendly reception team on (07) 3138 9777.
