Higher risk of poor functional outcome in the presence of visual deficits post-stroke
The authors present a retrospective case review with the aim of reporting the disability outcomes of individuals 90-days post stroke with and without visual deficits. The Houston Methodist Hospital Outcomes-based Prospective Endpoints in Stroke (HOPES) Registry was used as the...World-first artificial intelligence foundation model for eye care to supercharge global efforts to prevent blindness
Researchers at Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology (IoO) have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that has the potential to not only identify sight-threatening eye diseases but also predict general health, including heart attacks, stroke and Parkinson’s disease.Pupils at a South Lanarkshire school experienced the challenges voters with sight loss face when casting their ballots
The mock election, which was held at Uddingston Grammar School on Friday 24 November, was organised by RNIB Scotland, in collaboration with South Lanarkshire Council and Haggeye, RNIB Scotland's award-winning youth forum.A glossary
After a week on call grading what feels like 13 billion referrals I decided it might be useful to come up with a glossary that might help other people in some way to decipher the true meaning behind every repetitive...The results of the last survey Oct24
*Please be aware that this data does not form part of a peer reviewed research study. The information therein should not be relied upon for clinical purposes but instead used as a guide for clinical practice and reflection. The sample...“We try our best”, but we should still be open and transparent
In a recent discussion with colleagues, someone recognised that many, when asked what they do, say, “I am a doctor”. Rather than “I work as a doctor”. This sense of belonging, pride and duty comes with responsibility. Becoming a surgeon,...Four pillars: Exploring eye exigencies
This series explores the four pillars of advanced clinical practice and here, Jem Ann Bautista explores the pillar of clinical practice. As day case theatre practitioners in one of London’s biggest and busiest centres, our team is trained to cater...The Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness: How ICEH maintains the cornerstone of global eye health data
In this paper we will discuss The Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB), a survey methodology that has become the single largest source of population eye health data globally. The origins of RAAB The RAAB is a rapid, population-based survey...A comparison of light sources in retinal imaging
Before starting to talk about the light sources present in retinal imaging, it is necessary to start from the base: the light. Light is an electromagnetic wave whose smallest part is the photon (or quantum of light). A high frequency...
RTP801 as a neuroprotective and axon regenerative treatment
This paper describes the neuroprotective and axon regenerative effects of siRTP801, which is a translatable small-interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting mTOR negative regulator; RTP801, through in-vivo and in-vitro models. In-vivo studies involved an optic nerve crush rat model with intravitreal injections...
