Maximising the ocular surface prior to cataract surgery: The old and the new modalities of treatment
Cataract surgery is among the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide. Over time, it has evolved from a lens-extraction procedure into a refractive intervention that demands meticulous perioperative planning and precision to achieve optimal outcomes. Optimisation of the ocular surface...Intraocular surgery and dry eye: Understanding the link, minimising the risk and preparing for the future
Dry eye disease (DED) and ocular surface disease (OSD) are increasingly recognised as central factors in contemporary intraocular surgery. As cataract, glaucoma and vitreoretinal procedures advance toward greater refractive precision, patient expectations have risen and tolerance for postoperative visual fluctuation...Orbital airgun pellet injuries: A paediatric case pair
Airgun injuries to the eye and orbit can be visually devastating. The pellet need not impact the globe directly to cause visual loss, as the cone shaped orbit may funnel the projectile into the orbital apex and optic nerve. We...An update on inherited retinal disorders (part 2): Approaches to therapy for IRDs
Part 1 of this topic can be found here There are currently no proven cures for inherited retinal disease (IRD). However, multiple avenues of research are being investigated to better understand disease mechanisms and trial potential therapies that may slow...All eyes on the future symposium hailed a great success
Leading providers in the eye healthcare sector, Optegra Eye Health Care and ZEISS, have successfully hosted their annual CPD-accredited symposium, ‘All Eyes on the Future’, bringing together experts from across the ophthalmic sector. The symposium welcomed 90 attendees, including optometrists,...Refined glaucoma referral practice offers prospect of improved capacity and expanded role for primary eye care professionals
Glaucoma is the most frequent cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and the second leading cause of blindness in the UK [1,2]. The global prevalence of glaucoma in 2010 was approximately 3.5% for people aged 40-80 years, according to Jonas et...What’s new in wet AMD papers?
Paper presentations on neovascular (‘wet’) age-related macular degeneration (AMD) from the 16th European Society of Retina Specialists Congress, Copenhagen, September 2016, outline recent research directions evaluating the impact of vision loss on key health domains, patient preferences in the process...The future of multi-professional working in eye care
How the integration of service improvement technology, and health promotion will allow eye care professionals to overcome current and future challenges. The future of eye care in the UK is at a precipice. Hospital attendances are increasing year on year,...Commonwealth nations join forces to prevent blindness from diabetes
More than 70 representatives from 10 Commonwealth countries (in the African, Caribbean and Pacific regions) and Indonesia gathered at a five-day workshop in November 2014 to establish district or national plans to reduce blindness from diabetic retinopathy (DR). The event...Implementing technology to improve global eye health
Technological innovation is providing new solutions to transform global eye health [1–5]. In particular, research towards the development of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in ophthalmology has gained pace in recent years. However, there has been little research relating to its...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...
