The disease burden of AMD
In this multi-centre, prospective, observational, time and motion study the authors assessed the time burden of managing wet AMD for doctors, staff, patients and caregivers in the USA. The study spanned the period from March 2011 to August 2012, and...A missed intraocular telescope – an opportunity to re-focus the evidence
Intraocular telescopes allow magnification of the image so that it would be projected into a larger area of the macula, this makes the central defect caused by dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) smaller. The most common approach is a Galilean...My Top Five: Emerging robotic and automated innovations in ophthalmological surgery
Robotic technology is redefining the landscape of ophthalmological surgery by enabling micron-level precision and control beyond human capability. Intraocular microsurgery remains challenging to perform, with concerns about accuracy, tremor, precision, depth perception and dexterity. Moreover, conventional surgical tools have only...
Restoration of colour perception in patients with retinitis pigmentosa
This is a case series testing the feasibility of using bioelectronic retinal prostheses to partially restore colour perception in seven patients with advanced retinitis pigmentosa. Bioelectronic retinal prostheses are able to bypass degenerated photoreceptors to directly stimulate the inner retinal...A guide to utilising your time efficiently to develop clinical and procedural skills as an aspiring ophthalmologist
Ophthalmology often receives limited coverage in the undergraduate medical curriculum, and the availability of foundation programme jobs in this field is also restricted, reducing exposure to this field for aspiring ophthalmologists. Even if you’re not planning to specialise in ophthalmology,...
Resection versus advancement for consecutive XT
The authors performed a retrospective review of results for patients treated with resection for consecutive exotropia in comparison to patients treated with advancement to the original insertion. The age of the resection and advancement groups averaged 33.6 and 38.2 years...Patients with low vision benefit from optical sector seeing ‘beyond the eyes’
Patients with low vision are benefitting from an initiative developed by Visualise Training and Consultancy and funded by Thomas Pocklington Trust. Seeing Beyond the Eyes has released its impact report which highlights a huge increase in the number of optical professionals who will now refer patients with low vision to vital support services – up from only 9% to an impressive 96%.Africa makes strides in tackling blinding eye diseases: highlights of annual conference
Introduction The 9th Annual Scientific Conference of the College of Ophthalmology of Eastern, Central and Southern Africa (COECSA) was held at the Bingu International Convention Centre in Lilongwe, Malawi in September 2022. The meeting was hosted by the Ophthalmological Society...UKISCRS Cornea & Cataract Day 2026
United Kingdom & Ireland Society of Cataract & Refractce Surgeons Cornea & Cataract Day 2026Apr/May 2015 Quiz
History A 60-year-old man presented to the ophthalmologists with painful blurred left vision. Examination revealed a white vascular mass, occupying 60% of the anterior chamber space, arising from the iris. After conservative therapy, no useful vision remained. The eye was...
Improved suppression after surgery for intermittent exotropia
This study aimed to investigate the clinical factors associated with the recovery from suppression, with successful postoperative target motor alignment in 237 patients with intermittent exotropia. Mean age at surgery was 8.2 ±3.2 years and 48.5% were male. Preoperative angle...
