Conference Report: Building on a successful 2024: A week of learning at the Kabgayi Eye Unit
2024 was an exceptional year for us at Kabgayi Eye Unit (KEU). We hosted Rwanda’s first-ever international ophthalmology conference, established the Kabgayi Learning and Simulation Centre (KLAS) – a dedicated wet lab and skills transfer centre, and launched our training...Considerations in the management of retinal disorders
Vision research presentations and publications explore practice considerations in the management of AMD and diabetic retinopathy. Over the past two decades in Europe there has been a decreasing prevalence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and an improvement in visual acuity...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...Ophthalmic mentors: In conversation with Professor Harminder Dua
In the first of a series of interviews with key figures in the world of ophthalmology, Eye News speaks to Professor Harminder Dua about the future of clinical academia, his recent College presidency and Dua’s Layer. Professor Harminder Dua is...Enhancing glaucoma awareness and management in Nigeria – from grass roots to national policy development
This is the second in a series (see Part 1 here) of three articles about strengthening eye health services in Nigeria through collaboration with the LINKS and Networks run at the International Centre for Eye Health, LSHTM. This article highlights...
Thalamic infarcts and the associated neuro-ophthalmic sequelae
The authors present a retrospective review of clinical and imaging data from a stroke database over a 10-year period. Of those identified as having a thalamic infarction (n=342), 40 were found to have neuro-ophthalmic sequelae (11.7%). The neuro-ophthalmic sequelae reported...Strengthening capacity for ophthalmic research within three East African VISION 2020 LINKS – The Research Mentorship Workshop
Building capacity for ophthalmic research in low- and middle-income countries is an important aim of the VISION 2020 LINKS Programme. The International Centre for Eye Health (ICEH) at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) has been working...
Correlation between peak intraocular pressure following water drinking test and pulsed methylprednisolone therapy
Steroids have long been known to cause increased intraocular pressures (IOP) in susceptible patients. Intravenous methylprednisolone is used to treat many rheumatological conditions and one of the risks is raised intraocular pressure. It would be useful to find patients at...Twenty-five years in retina
In the next of our articles celebrating 25 years of Eye News, the authors look at how the retina specialty has changed over this time and ask what the future might hold. Retinal disease management has benefited from great advances...Strengthening the signal: Advancing oculomics research for systemic health insights
Oculomics, the study of how ocular structure reflects systemic health, is poised to become an integral tool for predicting, triaging, and diagnosing a wide range of diseases. By analysing data from the eye, particularly the retina, healthcare providers can gain...Retinopathy of prematurity treatment in the South West of England: long-term outcomes 1997-2008
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a condition that affects the developing retinal vascular system of pre-term babies. If left untreated, ROP can lead to severe visual impairment. The severe visual impairment caused by untreated ROP can be prevented by screening...
