Tackling diabetic retinopathy globally through the VISION 2020 LINKS Diabetic Retinopathy Network
It is abundantly clear that the burden of diabetes is rapidly increasing, as there are now 415 million adults with diabetes in the world, with a projected rise to 642 million by 2040 [1]. This equates to 1 in 10...Four weeks to go until Optometry Tomorrow 2026
With just four weeks to go, now is the time to secure your place at Optometry Tomorrow 2026. The College of Optometrists' flagship conference takes place on 14 and 15 June at the Harrogate Convention Centre. Two days of learning,...Insights on medical AI for ophthalmology: an update on current perspectives
Artificial intelligence (AI) has immense promise for revolutionising medical practice. Generative AI is a form of AI in which algorithms are trained on datasets that can be used to generate new content, such as text, images or video based on...What's trending Apr/May 2025
A round-up of the eye-related hot topics that have been trending on social media over the last few weeks. #ContactLens #Trapped I started wearing contact lenses in my teenage years and was always worried about them slipping behind my eyes....Childhood glaucoma
When a child is given a diagnosis of glaucoma, the impact upon that child and their family is enormous; equivalent to the diagnosis of a cancer [14]. This previously published article (2019) outlines the knowledge, techniques and approaches that offer...Novel retinal pigment metric tackles bias in AI models
Researchers have developed an innovative metric for objectively classifying pigmentation in a retinal image, rather than using subjective social constructs like ethnicity or other demographic variables, as is currently the case when building health datasets. Called the Retinal Pigment Score...
IgG4 related orbital disease
This retrospective study was done to determine the prevalence of IgG4 related orbital disease (IgG4ROD) in patients who previously had biopsies for suspected idiopathic orbital inflammatory disease (IOID) and / or orbital lymphoproliferative disease (OLD). The charts and slides of...
B-scan ultrasonography
B-scan ultrasonography is commonly employed for the diagnosis and follow-up of ocular trauma. This retrospective study looked at the accuracy and predictive ability of B-scan ultrasonography following open globe repair. Of the 965 patients identified with open globe injuries at...
Complement Factor H and Factor H-Like protein are expressed in human RPE cells
The role of inflammation in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is well documented and the association of AMD with the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) and members of the complement system underline the role of complements in AMD. Human complement factor...
A rare case of oculomotor nerve palsy from presumed cavernous angioma
Cavernous angiomas of the cranial nerves are extremely rare, and those of the oculomotor (third) nerve are rarer still. The authors present a single case study of presumed cavernous angioma involving the subarachnoid portion of the left third nerve, which...
Using graphical illustration to predict giant cell arteritis
A nomogram is a chart or graph of scaled variables that facilitates the approximate computation of a mathematical function via intersecting lines. The objective of this study was to illustrate the use of a nomogram for the prediction of giant...
