The School of Optometry and Vision Science (SOVS) has officially inaugurated its Eye and Vision Research Centre (EVRC).

The state-of-the-art facility, first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa, is designed to serve as the hub for rigorous inquiry, discovery, and innovation.

It features two specialised laboratories: the Diagnostic and Visual Function Research Laboratory (DiVFuR) and the Ocular Imaging and Assessment Laboratory.

The centre is located in the Science Annex Building.

The inauguration of the facility also saw the launch of the first Vision Science Africa Exchange (ViSAX-25), which will bring together young researchers from Ghana, Nigeria, and Rwanda, in collaboration with longstanding partners at the University of Freiburg, Germany.

The Dean of SOVS, Prof. Stephen Ocansey welcomed the gathering.
