The role of artificial intelligence in cataract surgery: An overview
Cataracts are still a leading cause of blindness and, with an ageing population, that burden will only grow [1]. Increasingly experts are leaning on technology such as ‘Surgery 4.0’ [2] – where smart machines and artificial intelligence (AI) slide into...Large language models in ophthalmology
Traditional artificial intelligence (AI) models typically require large amounts of labelled data for training. For example, to develop a model capable of detecting macular pathologies on optical coherence tomography scans, thousands of scans would need to be manually labelled by...Artificial intelligence in glaucoma: Assessing applications instead of technology
Much is said about the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to transform clinical practice, particularly with the advent of foundation models [1]. The newest models are ‘pretrained’ on text, image, tabular and other forms of data to produce architectures that...The power of the full blood count
Vishal Shah walks us through his thought process whilst highlighting the importance of routine investigations when dealing with unusual retinovascular presentations. Retinal changes can arise in anaemia, leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic syndrome. They are often the first manifestation of...‘Phaco-plus’ procedures at forefront of modern glaucoma management
Glaucoma and cataract increasingly present as a ‘two-in-one’ surgical opportunity. In the UK, new modelling suggests ~1 million adults aged ≥40 may currently have glaucoma, with a projected rise to ~1.6 million by 2060 as the population ages and demographics...Charles Bonnet Syndrome emerges from the shadows
There has been a ground-breaking response to the online Charles Bonnet Syndrome Patient Information event on 16 November.WATCH EPISODE 6: Beyond 2020 with the Andean Medical Mission
Welcome to the sixth episode of Beyond 2020, the series that looks at strategies to eliminate avoidable blindness in countries with developing eyecare services and shares ideas and solutions to common difficulties in working abroad.Théa Pharmaceuticals Limited splashes out for VCHP
Théa pharmaceuticals have a strong philosophy of ensuring as many people as possible maintain healthy vision and became a charitable partner of Vision Care for Homeless People three years ago. Since then, the team has raised nearly £5,000 supporting the...The College of Optometrists responds to the abolishment of NHS England
Dr Gillian Rudduck MCOptom, President of The College of Optometrists, commented: “The announcement today of the scrapping of NHS England must not slow the progress of reform and the government’s plans to shift focus from hospitals to primary care. With...New date confirmed for Plymouth dry eye event
Evening of education, innovation and networking rescheduled to 16 June. SightCare, the trusted partner to independent optical practices in the UK, is pleased to announce that its dry eye roadshow event in partnership with Lumenis will now take place on...
MicroRNAs in cataract
In an ageing population cataract formation is one of the leading causes of blindness. Cataracts are caused by a failure to clear accumulating aggregated proteins in the lens. MicroRNAs are small non-coding transcripts which bind to specific mRNAs acting at...
