We’re so proud our very own Trustee, Professor Shahina Pardhan, Director of Vision and Eye Research Institute (VERI) at Anglia Ruskin University who won the award for Achievements in Education! Professor Pardhan was appointed as the first female Professor of Optometry in the UK in 2001.
This award follows on from Professor Pardhan’s Spectacle Makers’ Silver medal earlier this year in March 2024 by the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers, for her research into the the global visual impact of diabetic retinopathy on eye health and vision and how vision loss affects navigation through environments, and for her continuing work championing equity and diversity in science.
