ANZEF is delighted to welcome two outstanding new members to the Committee.
A/Prof Andrea Vincent (FRANZCO) is a renowned clinician-scientist ophthalmologist based in Auckland, New Zealand. A/Prof Vincent specialises in inherited retinal diseases, ocular genetics and paediatric ophthalmology. Her many notable contributions include the establishment of a Genetic Eye Service and the creation of the Genetic Eye Disease Investigation Unit at the University of Auckland.
Dr Laura Fernandes Coelho (FRANZCO) is a seasoned ophthalmologist with experience in Brazil and Australia. Her expertise in cataract surgery, glaucoma management and refractive procedures, coupled with her commitment to enhancing eye care for underserved communities, aligns perfectly with ANZEF’s mission.
“I am thrilled to join the ANZEF Committee to learn from and contribute to the ongoing advancement of eye care. I believe ANZEF plays a crucial role in supporting initiatives to reduce disparities in eye health. As a young Fellow, I feel it is essential to engage with the College’s activities from the early years of becoming a Fellow, and philanthropy feels like the right choice for me. I look forward to collaborating with my esteemed colleagues to further our mission of improving vision health and patient outcomes across the region”.
