Get PDFMessage from the Discipline Lead Associate Professor Katrina Schmid
Optometry and Vision Science (OVS) had another very productive year, with the outstanding achievements of its students, academics, and researchers described in this report. In 2023, the academic and professional staff ensured delivery of a diverse teaching program and continued to expand the knowledge base of the profession through original research. It was a significant year for staff promotions, with Stephen Vincent being promoted to Professor and Prakash Adhikari promoted to Senior Lecturer. These promotions were well deserved and acknowledge their important contributions to research, teaching, and leadership. In October, Dr Damien Fisher was appointed to an ongoing teaching intensive academic osition as an Associate Lecturer. We welcome Damien to the OVS team and congratulate him on this next step in his career. In addition to the external accreditation of the optometry program that occurs though the Optometry Council of Australia and New Zealand (OCANZ), the optometry program is also accredited by QUT as part of its Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) accreditation. During 2023, a major review of the course’s structure, learning outcomes, and units was undertaken. This review resulted in suggested minor revisions to the course structure of the Bachelor of Vision Science (OP45) in years 1 and 2 and updates to learning outcomes and units to ensure the course remains contemporary. Our optometry clinic continued to provide outstanding learning opportunities for OVS students and highquality eye care for thousands of patients. Special thanks to our coordinators Tina Huynh and Courtenay Lind, for managing the clinic so effectively in 2023. In 2024, Tina Huynh will return to the optometry clinic coordinator role in a full-time capacity, and Courtenay will continue to be involved in OVS teaching and research activities. OVS is grateful to the team of expert sessional clinical supervisors who ensure our optometry students obtain excellent clinical and patient management skills. Thanks also to OVS optometry student external placement providers who ensure that our students experience a diverse range of opportunities for real-world work-integrated learning. The Centre for Vision and Eye Research had another year of stellar performance with grant income totaling more than $3.5 million and over 100 high-quality publications. Congratulations to all OVS PhD students who graduated during the year and their supervisors; Ignacio Andres Viedma Escalona, Dinesh Kaphle, Durgasri Jaisankar, Archayeeta Rakshit, Samir Uprety, and Dinesh Venugopal. Optometry and Vision Science has had an exceptional year of achievements in 2023 and we can all be proud of the success of our staff and students. Thank you to all our supporters who enable us to continue to deliver world class optometric education and research. Associate Professor Katrina Schmid Discipline Lead, Optometry and Vision Scienc
That's a wrap
No full text“That’s a Wrap: An Outsider’s Inside Look at the Creative Process” is a short documentary detailing the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of several of QUT’s creatives, and their respective SCP projects.
From a fly-on-the-wall approach, the film follows students of several creative disciplinary backgrounds, and watches how their fields of knowledge intersect and combine to create a project larger than themselves.
With a focus on animation, music, film, and virtual production, “That’s a Wrap” explores what goes into the creative process – the artist’s work behind the artistic work
Fashion drawings
Get PDFThese fashion drawings were by Phyllis Meiklejohn (nee Kennedy 01/05/1935) who attended Kelvin Grove Teachers College on a full scholarship and graduated in 1955 as a Domestic Science teacher.
The following information has been provided by the Meiklejohn Family for historical accuracy and description of the items:
During her years at Teachers College, Phyllis Meiklejohn designed fashion drawings as part of her course. From one particular drawing she made a replica 80cm period doll by hand. Her siblings can remember Phyl working many hours over three months sewing on every sequin by hand, stuffing the doll and hand stitching the clothes. This is all remarkable considering that as a young child, Phyl overcame an eye sight deficiency caused by ‘sandy-blight’. Phyl’s father made a glass display cabinet for it. The doll was always a part of her life and her family, even travelling all around Queensland when her husband, Gordon was transferred in the Education Department. The family has now brought the doll a full circle and donated it to QUT

School of Optometry and Vision Science & Centre for Vision and Eye Research Annual Report: 2022
Get PDFMessage from Head of School Professor Michael Collins
The School of Optometry and Vision Science can be extremely proud of another wonderful year of achievements by our students, our researchers and our service to the university and the wider community. The 2022 year began with many challenges including ongoing Covid restrictions and the February floods that impacted both staff and students alike. The responses to these challenges reflect the impressive resilience of our staff and students and their ongoing kindness and support for one another. During 2022, the school underwent its scheduled reaccreditation assessment with the Optometry Council of Australia and New Zealand (OCANZ). This reaccreditation process ensures that optometry students meet the required practising competency standards when applying for registration with AHPRA through the Optometry Board of Australia, on completion of their studies. The rigorous reaccreditation process involved provision of detailed documentation regarding the school, its curriculum, its staff and clinical training, university processes, along with in-depth interviews by an OCANZ expert panel with our staff, students and various stakeholders. The school was very proud to achieve its reaccreditation without any imposed conditions until 2030, reflecting the high quality of our staff, our students and the optometry program. In 2022, the academic and professional staff again ensured delivery of an excellent and diverse teaching program throughout the year. Our optometry clinic continued to provide outstanding learning opportunities for our students and a high quality of care for the thousands of patients who attend each year. The clinic is jointly managed by Tina Huynh and our newly appointed clinic co-director, Courtenay Lind, who both do a fabulous job in maintaining excellent clinical training in an efficient and friendly atmosphere. We also rely heavily on the team of part-time expert clinical supervisors who teach our students the intricacies of real-world patient care. Our students and patients greatly appreciate the extensive clinical knowledge and detailed feedback that the highly experienced clinical supervisors provide them every week in the clinic. We are also indebted to the wide group of optometry, ophthalmology and health care practices that welcome our students for work-integrated learning opportunities. his type of real-world experience is so critical for the broader education of our students. It was a significant year for staff promotions this year, with Scott Read being promoted to Professor. This promotion was very well deserved and recognises Scott’s important contribution to research and teaching in the school over his distinguished career at QUT. Scott’s courses in Ocular Anatomy and Ocular Diseases are highly appreciated by the students and his research, particularly in the field of myopia, is widely acknowledged as being at the forefront of this rapidly expanding international field. The School and Centre for Vision and Eye Research had another year of excellent performance with grant income (over $4M) and a record number of high-quality publications (114 published and in-press). We also had 3 PhD students graduate during the year; Pradipta Bhattacharya, Ilya Zahari and Zach Quince, all of whom contributed exciting new knowledge to their respective scientific fields. At the end of 2022 I finished my role as Acting Head of the School after 20 months in the position and returned to my research and teaching. It was a great privilege to act in this position and I want to thank each of the academic and professional staff in the school for their continued support over this period. In particular, I want to acknowledge the staff of the Contact Lens and Visual Optics laboratory who supported me along this journey and stepped up during my frequent absences, to maintain the high standards of our laboratory. The School has had another year of outstanding achievements in 2022 and we can all take great pride in these collective successes. Katrina Schmid has been appointed as the new Acting Head of School and I am very confident that she will continue to lead the School to further success in 2023 with our exceptional group of staff and students. I wish you every success in the future. Professor Michael Collins Acting Head of Schoo
