Is virtual reality perimetry as reliable as static perimetry in detecting neurological visual field loss?
This study compares agreement between virtual reality perimetry (VRP) and static automated perimetry (SAP) in a variety of neuro-ophthalmological conditions. For this work the Order of Magnitude (OM) VR-based visual field assessment system was used which has been developed by...Acute macular neuroretinopathy
Acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) is a rare condition that typically affects young women and presents with photopsia and paracentral scotomata [1]. We describe a case of severe acute macular neuroretinopathy, following Covid-19 infection. A 30-year-old woman presented to the urgent...GDPR, email and private practice

Keeping mucormycosis infection in the foreground of your differential diagnosis, especially in those more vulnerable patients, will help save their lives if recognised and managed appropriately. Mucormycosis is a fulminant infection caused by the fungi of the family Mucoraceae. It...Embryology in clinical practice
The fascinating world of embryology is both beautiful and practical. It is a home video of our evolutionary history through the ages from the single cell through to the life aquatic, the development of gut, limbs and brain, and most...What's trending Oct/Nov 2020
A round-up of the eye-related hot topics that have been trending on social media over the last few weeks. #oldEnglish #herbalremedies Researchers from the University of Warwick, investigating natural remedies to treat bacterial infections, have discovered a potential new treatment....Typical or surprisingly uncharacteristic presentations of neuro-ophthalmic emergencies
Irrespective of geographical location or patient cohort, emergency departments are high risk locations capable of inspiring extreme anxiety and dread in patients and doctors alike. The stress multiplies when a walk-in or referred case is suspected of underlying neurological pathology....The past and the future for paediatric ophthalmology
The past 25 years have seen remarkable advances in clinical eye care for children in the UK. This has led to both improved outcomes and better patient and family experiences. There have been substantial changes to patient pathways, major advances...
Retinal vessel diameter in pseudoexfoliation
Pseudoexfolation (PEX) is characterised by deposition of fibrillary extracellular material on ocular and extraocular tissue. Studies have shown that deposition in vascular structures cause hypoxia and ischaemia. In the eye, a decrease in blood supply to the optic nerve can...
