BRIAN ANG
Director of Science/Ophthalmologist Melbourne.
My professional career, spanning over 15 years of clinical experience and authorship of over 70 peer-reviewed publications in respected scientific journals, has provided me with countless personal insights of the impact of vision on people’s lives, both positive and negative.
In 2010, my father was diagnosed with glaucoma. His diagnosis hit me with the realisation that I am at increased risk of developing glaucoma too. As a result, I started looking for ways to better support our eye health at an earlier stage to reduce risk. One question I kept asking myself was this: can we achieve better overall outcomes by focusing more on the underlying nutritional aspects of vision health?
