In conversation with Vasuki Sivagnanavel at 100% Optical
At 100% Optical at the end of February, we were lucky enough to run into Vasuki Sivagnanavel, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at The Royal Eye Unit, Kingston Hospital, shortly after her presentation: 'Diagnostic insights with retinal ultra-widefield multimodal imaging - perspectives from an optometrist and ophthalmologist'.Registration live for 100% Ophthalmology 2025
Organisers of 100% Optical have announced that visitor registrations for 100% Ophthalmology 2025 are now live for the show set to take place at London’s ExCeL from 1–3 March. Featuring as a co-located event with 100% Optical, 100% Ophthalmology, a...Moorfields cataract, medical retina and disc assessment
The Cataract/medical retina/ disc assessment short course has been designed to meet the training needs of band 6’s and 7s who wish to develop their knowledge and skills in disease recognition, management and intervention of cataract, medical retina and disc...Belfast briefing: Retina Day roundup from the RCOphth 2024 Annual Congress
Belfast hosted this year’s Royal College of Ophthalmologists’ (RCOphth) Annual Congress, a meeting dedicated to sharing advances, knowledge and clinical practice points in ophthalmic care. This article summarises selected talks by medical and surgical retina specialists during the Retina Subspecialty...
Transfected RPE cells inhibit AMD in rats
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness in the elderly. Wet AMD is characterised by choroidal neovascularisation, new vessels into the retina, leading to leakage and tissue damage. Many proangiogenic factors particularly vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)...Moorfields: Medical retina pathways consent course
This brand new, unique MR Pathways consent course is specially designed for nurses, optometrists, doctors and others healthcare professional groups working in medical retina subspeciality in ophthalmology. The MR Pathway consent course enables the multi professional groups to embed the...Moorfields medical retina consent pathways course
This brand new, unique MR Pathways consent course is specially designed for nurses, optometrists, doctors and others healthcare professional groups working in medical retina subspeciality in ophthalmology. The MR Pathway consent course enables the multi professional groups to embed the...The bionic eye – behind the headlines
Multiple visual prosthetic projects and other vision regeneration initiatives being tested in preclinical and clinical development worldwide illustrate continuing progress and opportunities in addressing profound blindness from hereditary retinal diseases and other causes (Table 1). Three implantable bionic vision systems...
OCT in proliferative diabetic retinopathy
This report set out to describe the anatomical relationships between retinal neovascular complexes (NVC), the posterior vitreous, and the vitreoretinal interface in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy using spectral domain OCT. The following was recorded for each NVC 1) posterior...Adaptive optics imaging: resolving single cells in the living eye
The human retina is unique in the central nervous system (CNS) in that it can be directly visualised non-invasively. Technological advances of several imaging modalities, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), multichannel scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) and fundus photography, have afforded...
Metamorphopsia in idiopathic epiretinal membranes
The Amsler grid is commonly used for self-monitoring, but is qualitative and has low sensitivity. The M-chart reduces the amount of spatial redundancy (‘filling in’) in the Amsler grid. The Orientation Discrimination (OD) test studied in this paper consists of...
