Eyes on Eyes

Ameenat 'Lola' Solebo

Lola is the research team leader, and as well as being a trained ophthalmic surgeon, she's trained in epidemiology / statistical analysis and ocular imaging. She's based at Great Ormond Street Hospital, and the UCL GOS Institute of Child Health. At GOSH she helps look after children with uveitis, and the research she does at UCL helps to improve outcomes for children with, or at risk of eye disorders.
