New board directors appointed

After careful consideration and with an eye toward enhancing the Lions Eye Institute’s strategic direction, the Institute is pleased announce the appointment of Dr Antony Clark and Professor Angus Turner as board directors.

Dr Antony Clark is a consultant ophthalmologist at the Lions Eye Institute, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and Perth Children’s Hospital. Dr Clark has many research interests and leads the WA ATOM (Atropine for the Treatment of Myopia) Study into childhood myopia.
 Professor Angus Turner is McCusker Director of Lions Outback Vision. His research is conducted through The University of Western Australia’s (UWA) Centre for Ophthalmology and Visual Science and he serves as a clinical lecturer for the Rural Clinical School at UWA, Notre Dame University and Curtin University.

We wish to also take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to two incredible board members who have recently resigned. The dedication and leadership of Professor Ian McAllister and Dr Erica Smyth AC has been instrumental in shaping the direction of our organisation.

Professor Ian McAllister joined the board of the Lions Eye Institute in 2010 and continues as a consultant ophthalmologist at our Nedlands clinic. He is actively involved in research for cures for vitreoretinal disorders, especially retinal vascular disorders.
Dr Erica Smyth AC served on the board from 2019. She is currently a non executive Director of the MinEx Co-operative Research Centre and is a member of the Advisory Board of the UWA Oceans Institute Foundation.
