Sustainability in eyecare: Are virtual clinics the way forward in the diagnosis and monitoring of retinal disease?
Virtual clinics can be used successfully in screening and management of ocular conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity and age-related macular degeneration. Virtual clinics should be a considered as a more clinically appropriate modality of consultation, diagnosis and...Vitreomacular traction: natural course vs. vitrectomy vs. ocriplasmin
Over time, the vitreous gel completely separates from the retina in a process known as a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). In some instances, however, the vitreous does not detach entirely and remains adherent to the macula. The term vitreomacular traction...A new observation point: updating the nomenclature and classification with OCT
The evolution of ophthalmic imaging technologies has been particularly rapid over the last few years. The author provides an update of the current terms for common signs and pathologies observed using optical coherence tomography. My experience as an ophthalmic technician,...The management of retinal vein occlusions: a summary
Retinal vein occlusions (RVO) are the most common cause of visual loss from retinal vascular disease second to diabetic retinopathy. Vision is lost due to ischaemia, macular oedema and / or haemorrhage which ultimately effects a patient’s quality of life...The final step
Not long after securing my fellowship in London I was successful at interview for a consultant post at Singleton Hospital, Swansea. The interview took place before I had actually started in London and besides the basic things that are asked...Keep calm and cut the carbon – improving sustainability in ophthalmology
As I dump my tenth pair of gloves into a non-recyclable clinical waste bin; dispose of another handful of plastic minims; or print another wad of single-sided discharge paperwork after a cataract surgery, the inconvenient truth of how these seemingly...UK ophthalmologists discuss value of ultra-widefield multimodality retinal imaging
Utilising optomap ultra-widefield (UWF™) multimodality retinal imaging with integrated SS (or SD) OCT in clinical practice contributes to identifying unexpected pathologies in a patient without visual complaints, report 81% of clinicians at industry webinar.Novel retinal pigment metric tackles bias in AI models
Researchers have developed an innovative metric for objectively classifying pigmentation in a retinal image, rather than using subjective social constructs like ethnicity or other demographic variables, as is currently the case when building health datasets. Called the Retinal Pigment Score...An unusual case of acute retinal necrosis
Case report A 40-year-old Caucasian male presented with a four-day history of redness and progressive painless reduction of vision in the left eye. His visual acuities were 6/4 in the right and 6/36 in the left. The left eye showed...COPHy 2026
