The textbook is a large, single volume that ideally needs to be desk or table-supported, as its sheer weight makes it virtually impossible to rest comfortably on ones lap. The book is compiled by its two lead authors and editors...Scottish universities transform eye health research with retinal imaging resource
Retinal imaging network achieves millionth image milestone in fight against diseases. A Scottish research initiative which set out to safeguard retinal images for innovation in eye research has reached a major milestone. Having secured over one million retinal images since...General purpose AI: Transitioning from high performance in highly curated settings to useful applications in ophthalmology
Artificial intelligence (AI) may be understood as the ability of machines to perform tasks which otherwise require human perception, reasoning, or learning. With the advent of deep learning, AI has achieved remarkable results across a wide range of medical tasks...World-class eye health centre in London named
A new, world-class centre for eye care, research, and education, opening in Camden in 2027 has been officially named. A partnership between Moorfields Eye Hospital, the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, and Moorfields Eye Charity, the new centre will be called...More time, more money – Moorfields Eye Charity scales-up support for PhDs
New London Living Wage stipend and 4-year studentships to catalyse next generation of eye health leaders. Moorfields Eye Charity has expanded its PhD studentship programme to boost support for early-career researchers and accelerate the development of innovative treatments. Announced this...
Is it worth performing cataract surgery in amblyopic eyes?
It was estimated that about 3% of all cataract surgeries in adults were performed in eyes that have pre-existing amblyopia, and there is a long-standing belief that eyes with amblyopia have limited benefit from cataract extraction in the adult age....
DIY IOP – does it work?
Measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) plays a major role in glaucoma care as IOP is a parameter, along with visual field progression and optic disc cupping used to assess treatment effect. While Goldmann tonometry (GAT) is the gold standard, it only...
Outcomes of cataract surgery in eyes with weak zonules
Pseudoexfoliation (PEX) and zonular weakness have long been known to increase the risk of complication of cataract surgery. This retrospective study looks at the results of phacoemulsion and intraocular implantation in 295 eyes with pseudoexfoliation and zonular weakness, with a...
Does cornea cross-linkage reduce the rate of corneal transplants in keratoconus?
Cornea cross-linking (CXL) is a relatively new treatment in the management of keratoconus, which may help prevent the need for corneal transplant. This paper investigates if the introduction of corneal cross-linkage has reduced the number of corneal transplants performed annually...
An alternative to povidone-iodine for intravitreal injections?
While povidone-iodine (5% aqueous) preparations have historically been considered the most effective antimicrobial prophylaxis for ophthalmic procedures and have been adopted as routine for intravitreal injections, post-procedure pain is a commonly recognized adverse event of IVI and has typically been...
Predictors of IOP reduction after SLT
The aim of this study was to identify predictors of intraocular pressure reduction following selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, who are already taking maximally tolerated IOP-lowering medication and need further IOP reduction. In this prospective...
