"I was very honoured to win the international Medis Award for Ophthalmology. This prestigious award gives me a platform to present my work to a wider audience and to raise awareness about an important group of blinding conditions that affect young people. It also allows me to highlight the tremendous progress in the field of inherited retinal disease and gives me extra motivation to continue working in a field that I feel very passionate about."
