Juliette Vila Sinclair-Spence’s Post

🌍 Exciting insights from a recent article by Katie Quirk from Optometry Australia! An interview with Nicole Carnt, who, like our chairwoman Juliette Vila Sinclair-Spence, is among the thirty contributors to the Global Alliance Against Acanthamoeba Keratitis White Paper. In this discussion, we delve into the significance of spreading awareness about Acanthamoeba Keratitis. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/exhtBGEj By sharing this white paper, we aim to educate and raise awareness among all stakeholders, fostering a common language for better understanding. Acanthamoeba Keratitis may be tricky to pronounce and navigate initially, but this white paper breaks it down into digestible perspectives—from patient experiences to biological insights, clinical applications, and regulatory viewpoints. Let’s work together to improve awareness and understanding of this significant issue! 💡 #Optometry #AcanthamoebaKeratitis #HealthcareEducation #PublicHealth #GlobalAllianceAgainstAK
