The results of the last survey Dec21

1 December 2021 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive, EYE - Vitreo-Retinal, EYE - General

Consent is a hot topic at the moment and the publication of the GMC Guidance on Consent [1] has rightfully refocussed our attention on it. Consent practices vary wildly and have been the subject of many of these surveys. Once...

1 October 2021 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive, EYE - General

This edition’s survey questions moved away from the deep and ethically charged questions of the recent surveys and focussed on simple and straightforward issues. This is really where the surveys began in exploring the minor practice variations which we have...

The results of the last survey Aug21

4 August 2021 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive, EYE - General

We are often referred patients noted to have an optic disc haemorrhage (ODH) without any other features of pathology. How we manage these patients can have a significant impact on our struggling capacity. The significance in glaucoma and, in particular,...

3 June 2021 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive, EYE - General

Thank you so much again for participating in the survey. I have been asked to give several talks at regional teaching sessions about some of the issues I discuss in these articles and I am happy to continue to do...

The results of the last survey Apr21

6 April 2021 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive, EYE - General

There was a really fascinating response to the last edition’s practice variance survey. Strictly speaking, I cheated and this was not really about practice variation, but more about your impressions about what represents negligent practice. For the first time ever,...

4 February 2021 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive, EYE - General

Once again, I am grateful for the responses and read the results with interest. I am always surprised by the amount of practice variation I see. I fully accept there is art in what we do and there is no...

The results of the last survey Dec20

7 December 2020 | Amar Alwitry, Andrew Tatham | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive, EYE - General

The responses to the first question in this survey demonstrate the need for it and the significant variation in practice we see in even relatively simple management decisions. Patients are seen regularly with occludable drainage angles and listed for YAG...

Results of survey October 2020

The results of the last survey Oct20

5 October 2020 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Glaucoma, EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive, EYE - General

The point of this series is to find variations in practice and to raise them to you, the readership, so you can review and reflect upon them. I am aware there is not always a ‘correct’ way of doing things,...

The results of the last survey Aug 2020

5 August 2020 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Glaucoma, EYE - General

Once more I would like to thank those of you who took the time to complete the last edition’s survey. It was highly pertinent to what we are facing now. It is clear that our services have been markedly disrupted....

The results of the last survey Jun 2020

5 June 2020 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive, EYE - Glaucoma, EYE - General

Firstly, my sincere thanks to those of you who responded to last edition’s survey. We had a record response. Laser was never my most exciting clinical treatment, but in this environment how I wish for even that degree of patient...

The results of the last survey Apr 2020

1 April 2020 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive, EYE - General

As ever, I would like to thank all those who participated in the last edition’s survey. A lot of data was generated and I do not intend to go through each individual finding. What is staggering again is the degree...

5 February 2020 | Amar Alwitry | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive, EYE - General

I appreciate that I keep on reiterating it, but again we see so much practice variance. Who is right and who is wrong? Is there a right or wrong approach? And does it matter? I think it probably does matter....
