Biography

Lindsay graduated from Cardiff University with a BSc(Hons) in Optometry and Vision Sciences and qualified as an optometrist in 2007. Following this, she worked in independent clinical practice, gaining additional qualifications in diabetic retinopathy screening, binocular vision, and glaucoma management. She returned to Cardiff University to undertake her PhD in the Optimisation of Perimetric Stimuli for Mapping Changes in Spatial Summation in Glaucoma, gaining this qualification in 2018.

Lindsay undertook a postdoctoral position as a Clinical Research Optometrist at Aston University, working with a small team on several industry-funded research projects investigating spectacle design. She then took up her current position in the School of Optometry and Vision Sciences at the University of Bradford in January 2020.

Lindsay's research interests are varied, and include visual symptoms and treatment adherence in glaucoma, structural and functional changes in glaucoma, mental health among optometrists, myopia management, ophthalmic public health, and contact lens research.

Lindsay is the Programme Lead for the MOptometry programme.


Lindsay is a Training Lead for Women in Vision UK (WVUK). She has also been involved in organising and running conferences for WVUK, the British Congress of Optometry and Vision Science (BCOVS), and the Imaging and Perimetry Society (IPS).

A full list of Lindsay's publications is available via her Google Scholar profile.
