description	Maurice KH Yap was born in Sabah, East Malaysia and went to school in Jessleton (now Kota Kinabalu). After attending an English‐medium Christian Brothers’ secondary school, he entered the University of Bradford in the UK to read Optometry. In 1985, Maurice completed a PhD in Optometry and Physiological Optics at Bradford, as well as a Diploma in Ophthalmic Optics from the UK's College of Optometrists. Maurice was very well regarded and liked by his peers at Bradford where he also spent his post‐doctoral years. One of his earliest projects was the use of yellow filters to increase contrast sensitivity.
