Diabetes macular oedema in pregnancy self-resolving postpartum

1 October 2021 | | Ophthalmology, Retina / Uvea / Vitreous, Imaging
*Equally contributing co-first authors. Diabetic macular oedema (DMO) is a common clinical presentation to ophthalmology clinics. Ample evidence exists for management of DMO in non-pregnant patients. However, there is a paucity of evidence on the optimal management of DMO in...

The power of the full blood count

1 October 2021 | | Ophthalmology, Retina / Uvea / Vitreous
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...

My top five: Emerging alternatives to manage and treat nAMD

3 April 2024 | | AMD
Wet (exudative or neovascular) age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterised by choroidal neovascularisation, in which new blood vessels from the choroid invade through Bruch’s membrane. These blood vessels proliferate beneath or through the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), causing patients to...

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery: What options are there and when might they be considered?

25 March 2024 | | Glaucoma, ONLINE EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES
