The New Zealand National Eye Centre (NZ-NEC) launched in 2008 as the culmination
of more than eight years of collaboration and planning between many researchers
in the field of ophthalmology, optometry, eye health and visual sciences in the
University of Auckland.
The unique composition of the Centre includes the two ophthalmic professions - the
Department of Ophthalmology (Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences) and the Department
of Optometry and Vision Science (Faculty of Science) incorporating the Molecular
Vision Laboratory, previously based in the Department of Physiology. The NZ-NEC
constituent departments currently have a combined staff of more than 100 clinicians,
clinician-scientists and vision-scientists, including honorary appointments, working
in the area of eye health, vision research and education in New Zealand.
