Embryology in clinical practice
The fascinating world of embryology is both beautiful and practical. It is a home video of our evolutionary history through the ages from the single cell through to the life aquatic, the development of gut, limbs and brain, and most...Diabetic retinopathy screening in Belize: a country’s journey towards reducing blindness from DR
The rise of diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complications is a public health concern in the Caribbean. The Caribbean Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) Programme, managed by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and funded by the Queen Elizabeth...Novel retinal pigment metric tackles bias in AI models
Researchers have developed an innovative metric for objectively classifying pigmentation in a retinal image, rather than using subjective social constructs like ethnicity or other demographic variables, as is currently the case when building health datasets. Called the Retinal Pigment Score...RCOphth TTT Supervision for Ophthalmic Practitioner Training

Surgical complications of ReLEx
Femtosecond laser refractive lenticule extraction (ReLEx) is a novel procedure for treatment of myopia and myopic astigmatism, which eliminates the use of microkeratome and excimer laser. Currently there are two techniques: FLEx – femtosecond lenticule extraction (similar to conventional LASIK)...
Perceptual learning treatment for amblyopia
The authors previously conducted a feasibility study examining the potential benefit of a self-administered at-home use of a tablet-based perceptual learning (PL) game. Visual stimuli were presented in various orientations and spatial frequency in a game-play format. This study evaluates...
Differences between ages and onset in functional network changes associated with reading Braille
Visual impairment affects learning ability, speed and accuracy required for reading, writing and learning memory in terms of educational performance. Braille training requires decoding of simple dots into meaningful words and sentences. The objectives of this study were to evaluate...
OCT measurements in neurodevelopmental conditions
The authors aimed to investigate what changes occur in the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL) and macula when specific learning disorder (SLD) comorbidity is added to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). They compared measures in three...
