Brisbane optometrist and researcher Dr Kate Gifford, PhD, has developed a useful online tool for parents to assess their child's risk of developing myopia. She is recognised as a global expert in myopia and has made valuable contributions to the cause of controlling the worldwide myopia epidemic through her clinical research, and in providing education to practitioners and parents on the importance of myopia control.
