"Tamsin has over 15 years of experience in Optometry and is a qualified Dispensing Optician and Optometrist. For her PhD Tamsin looked at into the role of a lack of oxygen in the development of Age-related Macular Degeneration, and if a lack of oxygen was responsible for the changes seen in dark adapted visual function in this condition. Tamsin has experience of teaching and lecturing at an undergraduate and postgraduate level and in 2015 joined City University as a lecturer in the Division of Optometry and Visual Science, where she carries out both research and teaching roles."
