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...Cataract Advanced Training with Simulation (CATS)
This course focuses on advanced cataract surgery skills including the management of posterior capsule rupture, zonular weakness, small pupils, and secondary and toric IOL implantation. The course programme is designed to deliver an immersive hands-on experience using high-fidelity simulation technology...Developments in retinal pigmentation measurement and the hopes of an equitable future
Our AI & Oculomics co-editor, Nima Ghadiri, sat down with Abraham Olvera-Barrios from Moorfields and Anand Rajesh from the University of Washington to discuss their recent international study into retinal pigmentation and its wider clinical, technological and academic applications. Can...Neuro-ophthalmology: the extended role of an orthoptist
Neuro-ophthalmology has always been a speciality of interest during my studies and now in my career. In 2018, I started a Band 7 post which gave me an extended role in neuro-ophthalmology and the responsibility of developing an orthoptic led...Hear from the RCOphth Subcommittee
We heard from Dr Swetha Maddula Batambuze, SAS Chair RCOphth, and the rest of the RCOphth subcommittee about their Invisible Ophthalmologist talk yesterday, and their plans for the SAS Forum in November.My Top Five: Key insights from recent research into uveitis in adults
Uveitis, characterised by inflammation of the uvea – the eye’s middle layer comprising the iris, ciliary body, and choroid – remains a leading cause of visual impairment worldwide [1]. It primarily affects adults aged 20–50 years. Untreated uveitis may cause...Illuminating task lighting
Good lighting is always important but especially for patients who are visually impaired. Janet Pooley provides an overview. We tend to discuss lighting with patients when their vision is reduced, and where we are considering higher reading adds or low...Quantum imaging research could improve retinal scans
New EU-funded feasibility project is testing a quantum approach that could reveal finer detail in the eye than ever before. A European research consortium is exploring a new quantum imaging technique that could one day help clinicians see the earliest...Cancer associated retinopathy
Abdul Muhyemin Tarin reviews the presentation, pathophysiology and management of this paraneoplastic syndrome. Case presentation A 60-year-old hypermetropic female patient presented with several months’ history of painless blurred vision. Visual acuity (VA) was 6/24 and 6/9-1 in right and left...
Glaucoma and erectile dysfunction
In this cross-sectional study with patient questionnaire and retrospective chart review, a total of 167 male patients over 40 years of age were enrolled. Exclusion criteria included previous exposure to radiation and surgical treatment for prostate benign hypertrophy or malignancy....
