He discovered that suturing the retina or pressing externally on the sclera were not...Randomisation, confounding & observational methods in ophthalmic epidemiology
Randomisation and confounding Understanding the relationship between an exposure and an outcome of interest is the central challenge in ophthalmic epidemiology. The exposure may be aetiological, taking the form of a putative risk biological factor, or therapeutic, in the form...
Sickle cell maculopathy
