We have a strong record of effective engagement with government and regulatory bodies, clinical practitioners and community groups and the QUT Optometry Clinic, through which we have achieved wide-ranging impact and translation of our research outcomes.
Anterior Eye and Ocular Surface Laboratory
The Anterior Eye and Ocular Surface Laboratory is dedicated to understanding factors that affect the health of the anterior eye and ocular surface and how risk factors can be reduced and treatments developed.

The primary research objectives of the Contact Lens and Visual Optics Laboratory are to better understand vision, the optics of the eye, optical corrections of the eye and the processes underlying the regulation of eye growth.
Contact Lens and Visual Optics LaboratoryMelanopsin Photoreception and Visual Science Research Laboratory
The Melanopsin Photoreception and Visual Science Research Laboratory is a leading international site for the basic science and clinical investigation of human melanopsin function.

Our research group is dedicated to understanding how vision, eye conditions and ageing impact on activities of everyday living.
Vision and Everyday FunctionAcknowledgement of Traditional Owners
QUT acknowledges the Turrbal and Yugara, as the First Nations owners of the lands where QUT now stands. We pay respect to their Elders, lores, customs and creation spirits. We recognise that these lands have always been places of teaching, research and learning.
QUT acknowledges the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people play within the QUT community.
