The Perfect Poolside Episode

Our finest moments from the past twelve months continue, as Lyndon Jones shares his thoughts on why optometrists should incorporate dry eye management, myopia control and specialistic contact lens services to future proof their practices.

Robyn Gymer explains why “selling” the benefits of intravitreal complement inhibitor treatment to patients with Dry AMD is not an easy task, the important role of OCT in helping clinicians recognise nascent geographic atrophy and the dietary advice she gives her Dry AMD patients.

If you are unsure when to refer patients with possibly swollen optic discs, Lorcan Butler’s tips on taking a targeted history, "examining the nerve” and how to interpret disc OCTs will help refine your referrals.

Memories of seeing young diabetic patients in the 1980s and 90s, who were NPL in both eyes due to undetected and untreated diabetic retinopathy, have driven Peter Scanlon to develop digital diabetic retinopathy screening programs. Peter talks about the bumpy journey and obstacles he faced to bring his vision to fruition.

Finally, Hunter Cherwek from Orbis describes the devastating impact on the life chances of children and economic productivity of adults with uncorrected refractive errors and how Orbis is tackling this problem, which currently affects 850 million people worldwide.
