This is a friendly informal event where you (and your family, friends and/or carers) will have the opportunity to hear about research taking place at Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, ask the researcher questions, and provide input that could shape the future of eye care research.
Details of our next coffee hour event are as follows:
Date: Wednesday 8th July 2026
Time: 3-4pm
Location: Coffee Junction, 42 Provost Street, London N1 7SU, (a 5-minute walk from Moorfields Eye Hospital)
Presenting at our next Coffee Hour will be Ruke Ejegreh, an internationally trained Optometrist and an MSc Public Health candidate at York St John University, London Campus. Her research explores trends in glaucoma prevalence and associated risk factors among adults aged 40 years and above in the United Kingdom using a public health and population health sciences approach. The research work examines how ageing, awareness, health inequalities and access to eye care influence glaucoma outcomes and why many people remain undiagnosed until significant vision loss occurs. The research aims to further highlight the importance of early detection, prevention, and uncover gaps to foster improved access to eye-care services, support healthy ageing and mitigate glaucoma outcomes.
We will also be providing a free coffee and pastry for you to enjoy! So come along and let’s have a chat about research into eye care that is important to you.
