#eyedoctor #banned #visamix-up #HomeOffice #hostileenvironment An ophthalmologist was left stranded overseas when the Home Office refused him entry due to a visa mix-up. Dr Chan was working as a fellow at Moorfields Eye Hospital until August 2019, then was offered...Across the globe and into the world of international eye grading
Decades have passed and the influence of analysing fundus images by grading consultants and retinal image specialists has grown worldwide. Their job is to specialise in assessing hundreds of diagnosed eye disease disorders and to read thousands of eye images,...Defence Medical Services Ophthalmology Conference 2024
by Dr Ben Smith, General Duties Medical Officer (Army), Tidworth, UK. This annual national meeting of tri-service defence ophthalmologists was held in the beautiful and historic setting of Merton College in Oxford, hosted by Professor Robert MacLaren, the current Professor...
Diagnosis and management of orbital vascular malformations
This is an authoritative review of a controversial and difficult clinical area. The authors have experience of over 350 cases and provide a well-structured review of the classification and management of orbital vascular malformations. They emphasise the need to understand...
OCT angiography findings in amblyopic eyes
In this study, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was used to detect the existence of any vascular dysfunction in superficial and deep retinal layers that accompany visual impairment in amblyopic eyes compared to fellow and control eyes. The study included...
MPH treatment effect in ADHD on choroidal vascular index
In this study the authors aimed to investigate the choroidal vascular index (CVI) in treatment-free children with ADHD, children regularly taking methylphenidate (MPH) and healthy controls. This was a prospective cross-sectional study of 52 patients with newly diagnosed ADHD, 46...Ophthalmology history and examination – a guide for medical students
*First author Students have very little exposure to ophthalmology during their years at medical school. Teaching consists of a handful of lectures followed by a short placement in which students are expected to practise histories and examinations on patients with...
OCTA FAZ measurements in vein occlusion
Previous studies have confirmed that foveal avascular zone (FAZ) enlargement is correlated with visual acuity impairment in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO). This current study aimed to evaluate the OCT angiography parameters: the area of FAZ, foveal and parafoveal...
MicroRNA inhibits corneal neovascularisation
MicroRNAs (miR) are small non-coding RNA that target mRNA for destruction. MiR target about 30% of the protein coding genes and fine tune their expression. MiR have been shown to be involved in several cellular processes including cell cycle, tissue...
Clinical predictors of proliferative sickle cell retinopathy
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder resulting in production of Haemoglobin S (HbS), which aggregates in conditions of hypoxia, acidosis or hyperosmolarity. This leads to vascular stasis, thrombosis and ischaemia. The authors present a cross-sectional study (45 consecutive...From Dye to Digital: Why OCTA is replacing invasive imaging in retinal care
For decades, retinal imaging has relied on invasive dye based techniques to visualise the eye’s vasculature. However, Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) is fast becoming the preferred modality, replacing fluorescein and ICG angiography in many clinical settings. As highlighted by...
