**About the opportunity**

The Research Officer assist with research to establish the evidence base for genetic risk profiling in Glaucoma, specifically how a novel glaucoma polygenic risk score (PRS) can enable specialist care to be prioritised for those patients at highest risk of vision loss, reducing the health economic impact of blindness and increasing efficiency in our health system with a protocolised model of care.
