Attending ophthalmology conferences as a foundation trainee: an eye-opener?
The benefits of attending specialty conferences for clinicians are numerous. For example, staying up to date with the latest advancements in the field and integrating these into clinical practice. However, foundation doctors are yet to enter a training pathway and...
Disc margin delineation using spectral domain OCT
Observing progressive anatomical changes of the optic nerve head is essential in the detection of progression in glaucoma. Imaging devices continue to evolve and are useful in detecting change in established glaucoma, although probably less useful in an initial diagnosis....A novel integrated practice unit (IPU) approach to periocular skin cancer management
The COVID-19 pandemic was one of the biggest challenges to face NHS workers. However, history has repeatedly shown that times of difficulty can result in the development of significant social and technological advances. We describe our own experience of this...Conference Report: OSI Dry Eye Masterclass & Symposium 2025: A first-hand experience

Outcomes after surgical excision of limbal dermoid
The authors aimed to report the visual and refractive outcomes and complications of simple excision of limbal dermoid (LD) sparing the visual axis and Descemet’s membrane in children aged ≤8 years. This was a retrospective review over 2000-2019 including 19...
Gender and ethnicity related differences in optic nerve head
The authors investigated the effect of ethnicity and gender on optic nerve head morphology comparing Indian and Caucasian males and females. The optic nerve head was investigated using spectral-domain optic coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Results showed that disc and rim areas...
Iranian values for childhood convergence
The authors aimed to determine near point of convergence (NPC) values in a population-based study in Iranian schoolchildren with a large sample size. They explored its relation to factors such as age, gender, refractive error and near point of accommodation....
