Request from IAPB
IAPB is running their Focus On Glaucoma initiative for the third year running during World Glaucoma Week, which will include a series of online events and a face to face event in Australia. They are also really keen to publish blogs on this topic that they can share throughout the week, particularly from female authors as WGW coincides nicely with International Women’s Day on 8^th March.

Can we recommend any females within our membership that would be suitable for this?
