Welcome to the Brien Holden Vision Institute |
|
 On behalf of the staff and board of the Brien Holden Vision Institute, I welcome you to our website.
This new online platform, launched on 1 March 2010, heralds an exciting new era for our organisation, which operated for more than twenty five years as the Institute for Eye Research and established an international reputation for groundbreaking eye research.
Many of our greatest achievements have resulted from bringing together highly skilled and creative researchers from around the world to share their ideas to advance vision correction and eye care.
This philosophy of collaboration informs our enhanced online presence. We intend for this website to act as an interactive community - to engage, inform and act as a platform for the exchange of ideas.
I invite you to explore the site and learn about the future of vision, to contribute and become a part of our community.
