Senior Clinical Research Coordinator, Bionic Eye
BOptom (Therapeutic endorsed), PostGradDipAdvClinOptom Melb
She completed her Bachelor of Optometry degree in 2007 from the University of Melbourne graduating with therapeutic endorsement and Post Graduate Diploma in Advanced Clinical Optometry in 2009.
Lisa is also a committee member of the Vision2020 Prevention and Early Intervention committee.
She works with the Bionic Eye Unit exploring vision processing methods in patients with end-stage retinitis pigmentosa implanted with a suprachoroidal retinal prosthesis and developing a new functional assessment tool which captures multisensory performance in the real-world environment.
She is also a Clinical Research Manager at Cerulea Clinical Trials where she is currently managing the conduct of clinical trials involving gene therapies and photoswitch technology for inherited retinal diseases.

Current projects
Longitudinal observation and assessment of the suprachoroidal retinal prostheses
The study aims to observe and assess visual, orientation and mobility behaviour with primary and improved vision processing methods in laboratory and real world settings using a suprachoroidal retinal prostheses (ScRP). The study also assesses structural and functional ScRP stability with objective and subjective assessments.
The Assessment Tool for Occupational performance and Mobility – Multisensory approach
This research project is exploring an improved reporting standard for functional assessments which will assist with providing a better understanding of a person’s ability to function in their daily life and with tailoring orientation and mobility training programs to their specific needs and goals.
