The timing of glaucoma filteration surgery during the course of chronic progressive glaucoma remains a contentious issue amongst glaucoma specialists. The vast majority support the use of maximal medical treatment initially to achieve the target pressure. Surgical procedures are only...

From novice to overnight on-calls: developing an ophthalmology bootcamp to ease the learning curve for new trainees

4 December 2023 | | EYE - General
Introduction My first ophthalmology on-call was nine years ago and it was a fairly traumatic experience. I was an FY2 in a Welsh district general hospital and I was on my own – at least, that’s how it felt to...

Clinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography

3 June 2024 | | EYE - Imaging, EYE - General
Clinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography provides an informative, up-to-date review of the numerous applications of OCTA in ophthalmology. This book highlights the ways in which this relatively recent non-invasive imaging technique has been an invaluable tool for our...

‘The Way Forward’ champions clinicians as architects of patient-centred service redesign

1 April 2017 | | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Glaucoma, EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
The demographic time bomb poses the dilemma of how more healthcare can be delivered to the UK’s ageing population without commensurate growth in resources. The Way Forward Project provides a robust resource for clinical centres to better identify and implement...

Improved efficacy expected with second-generation microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices

1 July 2015 | | EYE - Glaucoma
Microinvasive surgical approaches to primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) offer minimally traumatic options for effective intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction in appropriately selected glaucoma patients. Increases in laser trabeculoplasty rates and wider adoption of glaucoma drainage device filtration procedures, together with the...

Ocular toxicity secondary to deferoxamine

12 June 2026 | | EYE - Pathology, EYE - Imaging, EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
Patients with myelodysplastic syndromes can develop transfusion-related iron overload as they become dependent on recurrent blood transfusions [1]. Iron chelation therapy is indicated for the treatment of iron overload and one established example of this is deferoxamine. However, deferoxamine ocular...
