Congratulations to medical student Robin Yang for being awarded this year’s Gordon Sanderson Scholarship. Professor Helen Danesh-Meyer will supervise Robin to deliver the ethics proposal for a Clinical Study on Preservatives in Glaucoma Eyedrops. This work will support the upcoming glaucoma eyedrops clinical trial.
If you’re a Glaucoma NZ member, you may know that this is an exciting project. It has significance to all New Zealanders living with glaucoma, as the clinical trial will form part of our campaign to influence Pharmac to improve the choice of available preservative-free glaucoma drops in NZ.
This is the continuation of your generosity, helping pave the way for the glaucoma eyedrops clinical trial – thank you for your support!
