Sustained elevation of extracellular ATP in chronic glaucoma
Although adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) release from retinal neurons and astrocytes has been demonstrated in short-term increases in intraocular pressure (IOP); such as in aqueous humor of humans with primary acute angle closure glaucoma, the response in chronic IOP elevation was...In the eye of the beholder!
Humans grow up with a vibrant sense of knowledge from the colours, shapes, and sizes we are in contact with from all around us. These come together to form some wonderful objects and designs. We are in awe of nature...
Adjuvant intravitreal dexamethasone implant for persistent CME
In this retrospective, cross-sectional study the authors investigate the efficiency of intravitreal dexamethasone implants (0.7mg) for cystoid macular oedema (CME) persisting, despite immunomodulatory treatment in patients with Behcets’ disease (BD). Twenty-seven eyes of 20 patients (12 males and eight females)...Improved efficacy expected with second-generation microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices
Microinvasive surgical approaches to primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) offer minimally traumatic options for effective intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction in appropriately selected glaucoma patients. Increases in laser trabeculoplasty rates and wider adoption of glaucoma drainage device filtration procedures, together with the...
Practical Emergency Ophthalmology Handbook: An Algorithm Based Approach to Ophthalmic Emergencies
This book is extremely helpful for a new starter / clinician in ophthalmology emergency services. However, to understand the algorithms and the explanations, the clinician would need a good knowledge and understanding of anatomy and physiology of the eye and...Moorfields Education International Uveitis Symposium
Don't miss this chance to hear from top national and international speakers, including symposium organiser Professor Carlos Pavesio, Consultant Ophthalmologist and uveitis specialist at Moorfields Eye Hospital and Director of the Scientific Organizing Committee. This unique three day symposium will provide a forum for the exchange of information and new ideas relevant to clinical practice, investigations, and therapeutic management of patients with ocular inflammatory diseases and complex uveitic conditions, with an in-depth discussion surrounding the diagnosis and therapeutic strategies of specific inflammatory disorders.GREG: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Qualifications – March 2025 cohort application deadline

Efficacy of intravitreal dexamethasone implant in patients with persistent macular oedema
Chronic cystoid macular oedema (CME) can develop secondary to various pathologies such as diabetic maculopathy, retinal vein occlusion and uveitis. It can cause significant visual impairment and macular damage. The therapeutic effect of corticosteroids in CME is through one or...Eye testing at home – developing an app for measuring vision
COVID-19 has made home vision monitoring a necessity. Stephanie Campbell shares how her idea for a vision testing app that would engage patients became a reality. Months before COVID-19 first began to mutate to its human host, there was a...
