Philip Turnbull B Optom (Hons), PhD

I'm an optometrist passionate about using technology and other available resources to make eye care better for patients and students. I co-founded the translational Auckland Myopia Control Clinic, and now work on developing and advising on standards for optometry practice in New Zealand. My research explores virtual reality, eye tracking, and AI applications in healthcare, alongside broader interests in mental wellbeing, equity, and improving access to eye health care for those in Aotearoa New Zealand.

I am available to supervise Masters and PhD students across these topics, and I welcome advisory or expert witness engagements where my experience in optometry, standards development, or digital health may add value.
