Professor David Thomson

Director of Product Development & Clinical Lead: Optometry

Professor Thomson has spent most of his professional life at City, University of London. He lectured in Clinical Optometry and Visual Perception before becoming Head of Department.

In the 1990’s he recognised the potential of emerging computer and display technology for vision assessment and screening. He started to develop software to exploit the new technology. The first programme was launched in 1992. From these humble beginnings, his software is now used in thousands of clinics and schools worldwide. He started developing software for vision screening in schools over ten years ago. The current version reflects his years of experience in this field.
