General purpose AI: Transitioning from high performance in highly curated settings to useful applications in ophthalmology
Artificial intelligence (AI) may be understood as the ability of machines to perform tasks which otherwise require human perception, reasoning, or learning. With the advent of deep learning, AI has achieved remarkable results across a wide range of medical tasks...Sixth nerve palsy versus decompensating distance esophoria
Orthoptists see a wide range of conditions that can range from reduced binocular single vision (BSV) that may be solved with exercises, to more extreme neurogenic cases requiring further intervention. Because of this variety, it is important to be able...Conference Report: NEOS Summer Meeting 2025
The North of England Ophthalmological Society (NEOS) Summer Meeting 2025 was convened by Lawrence Gnanaraj, Consultant Paediatric Ophthalmologist at the Sunderland Eye Infirmary. The opening morning programme was titled ‘Is Small a Big Problem?’ and addressed a wide range of...Beyond vision loss: Why doctors should know about Charles Bonnet Syndrome
Over 250 years have passed since Charles Bonnet’s seminal essay, in which he described the symptoms of the syndrome that now takes his name [1]. Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) describes the occurrence of visual hallucinations in people with significant visual...
Surgical outcome reporting for exotropic DRS
The authors report the surgical outcomes of patients with exotropic Duane’s retraction syndrome (DRS) in a retrospective study of 73 patients; 67 unilateral cases. Patients had a mean age at surgery of 14.11 years (range 2-33). The left eye was...
Age-related distance esotropia – what are the clinical characteristics?
The authors present a retrospective case review of individuals with primary divergence insufficiency or age-related distance esotropia, over a 15-year period. Inclusion criteria allow for the difference between near and distance angles to be patient reported or objectively measured. One...
Correlations of fusional convergence with suppression depth in control of exotropia
This study was undertaken to investigate the differences in fusional convergence during refusion in patients with intermittent exotropia based on suppression depth and exotropia control. This was a cross-sectional study of 25 patients; 15 female and 10 male aged mean...Redeployment during the COVID-19 pandemic: personal accounts from four ophthalmology trainees
We once believed that the coronavirus would not penetrate the safe confines of the United Kingdom, like so many outbreaks before this. Once the news came that this pandemic descended into our hospitals, the anxieties about redeployment began. Many of...
