Roberta mcilraith
It is an honour and a privilege to take up the position of President of the Cornea and Contact Lens Society of New Zealand. I will endeavour to carry forward the high standards set by my predecessors with the aim of delivering world-class education and providing for the collegial engagement between optometry and ophthalmology, which we have experienced for over 60 years and remains a cornerstone of our society.
My motivations in the office include updating the website in order to provide much more value to the members and to provide better links to patients seeking our expert care. Secondly I would like to continue the good work of Jagrut Lallu in continuing to raise the awareness of myopia progression control - this is the ocular climate change crisis and eye care practitioners are at the forefront of educating and managing against it.
I wish you all well in your endeavours as eye health and contact lens practitioners!
