The results of the last survey Jun25

2 June 2025 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Cornea

The first question refers to whether we check blood glucose levels prior to cataract surgery. Almost three quarters of you do which was interesting. We know that poor glycaemic control (manifesting as a raised HbA1c) has implications for wound healing...

2 April 2025 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Cornea, EYE - Vitreo-Retinal

Postoperative endophthalmitis is arguably the worse possible complication of cataract surgery. We are a victim of our own success as the procedure has such an amazing safety profile that when things go wrong patients are bound to feel aggrieved and...

4 December 2024 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Glaucoma, EYE - Vitreo-Retinal, EYE - Cataract

This edition’s survey results are fascinating. They focus more on your impressions and views rather than on the facts of your clinical practice. Effectively I asked you to take the role of an expert and comment on the cases I...

2 August 2024 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Glaucoma

In the first case we were faced with a 55-year-old patient with narrow, potentially occludable drainage angles, no significant cataract, and persistently raised intraocular pressures (IOPs) of 28mmHg with early disc compromise, and normal vision in each eye. It is...

3 June 2024 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive

3 April 2024 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - General

It has been a few years now since we started these surveys and I continue to be amazed by the variance in our practice. As a patient, I think I would expect there to be more consistency and evidence-based practice....

Learning from litigation: ocular drug toxicity

3 August 2023 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - General

Being the subject of litigation is stressful and upsetting. Having to look back over your previous decisions and justify the care you delivered in good faith can be difficult. Sadly, we all live with the sword of Damocles above us...
