Simone Dowon Suh

I have previously worked in the field of low vision, specialising in visual rehabilitation for macular diseases through visual aids. I currently work at the SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital where I have broadened my knowledge as a paediatric optometrist, dealing with various visual disorders typical in childhood on a daily basis, and thereby rounding out my professional career.
