A machine might be called intelligent if its response to questions could convince a person that it was human, a test proposed by Alan Turing in 1950 [1]. The author considers potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) using machine learning...Moorfields: Endonasal DCR Hands-on Simulation Course
Moorfields: Endonasal Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) Hands-on Simulation CourseA look into the IOL space
Advances in the design and performance of intraocular lenses (IOLs) continue to be driven by demand for better outcomes, presbyopia correction and spectacle independence, alongside a better understanding of the dynamics of the crystalline lens, newer theories of accommodation and...
Corectopia grading
The authors present a novel corectopia classification system using 28 eyes of 28 patients with or without corectopia. The grading and classification system for corectopia was as follows: (i) Direction of decentration: superior (DecS), superonasal (DecSN), nasal (DecN), inferonasal (DecIN),...Moorfields Education: Biometry study day April 26
This one-day in-person study day has been designed to meet the training needs of nurses, nursing associates, technicians, and anyone with an interest to improve their knowledge and understanding of biometry and its calculation and reading a biometry report. The...
Online tool for converting finger counting acuity into Snellen equivalent
The authors describe an online tool which has the purpose of converting count finger measurements of visual acuity into Snellen equivalents. The purpose of this is to allow the re-interpretation of retrospectively collected data that provide visual acuity in this...VISION 2020 LINKS: COECSA Fellowship examination goes from strength to strength
Eye health problems and access to diagnosis and treatment is an important issue throughout low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and particularly on the African continent, where quality of life is drastically affected by poor vision, blindness and deteriorating eye health,...New rules on capturing a homeless patient’s address will correct ‘major health inequality’, says the AOP
The Association of Optometrists (AOP) has welcomed an announcement by NHS England, which confirms that patients without a fixed address, including people who are homeless or rough sleeping, have a route to access NHS sight care by proving an alternative address.New eye hospital opens in Telford
NHS cataract surgery and YAG laser capsulotomy patients will benefit from high-quality care and significantly reduced waiting times at new SpaMedica hospital.
Retinal structural features of CMV retinitis
Confocal adaptive optics (AO) technology has enabled cellular level retinal imaging, including imaging of photoreceptors and blood flow. Adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) is a technology that provides high resolution and high contrast retinal images by correcting ocular aberrations....
