Biography
Neema is an optometrist and Associate Professor at the University of Bradford, joining in 2019.He is an editorial board member for the College of Optometrists Acuity magazine and an associate editor of BMJ Open Ophthalmology. He is the Vice Chair of the British and Irish University and College Contact Lens Educators (BUCCLE), which promotes collaboration and dissemination of evidence-based contact lens knowledge, and holds fellowships for the BCLA IACLE and FHEA. His research interests include myopia development and management, contact lenses and applied myopia genetics, and has won awards such as the 2015 Newly Qualified Optometrist of the Year award, 2021 Association of German Contact Lens Specialists and Optometrists (VDCO) Peter Abel research prize and the College of Optometrists George Giles prize. Prospective Students who are interested in conducting research or undertaking postgraduate study related to myopia, or refractive error are encouraged to get in contact.
