Congratulations to the 2024 Dawkins and Strutt grant winners: Mr Alasdair Warwick and Dr @abraham_olvera1🌟 #medresearchawards @Moorfields

So proud of our team! Recognising changes on OCT is step 1, making the correct call is step 2. watch this space!such a pleasure to work with the brilliant @h_a_khalid, @sktywagner, @LimoliCeleste @LaxmiDRaja @pearsekeane, @AugenarztDrBolz @LukeNic17 and others

Multicenter study led by @JavierZarranz @hospitalclinic highlights relevance of macular neovascularization type on clinical outcomes in wet AMD and reports differences in visual acuity & lesion activity at 1 y. @RetinaSERV @Club_Esp_Macula @FRB_Research ow.ly/hKKQ50Q7wP2

Our review on tele ophthalmology for retinal diseases is out: link.springer.com/content/pdf/10… Great work led by Jonathan Than and Peng Sim from @Moorfields, with contributions from @Swankang, Danson Muttuvelu, @danielferraz1 and Victor Koh.

Excited to share my work reviewing the next challenges facing AI in DR screening!

Lack of adoption of ocular imaging standards (DICOM) is bad for research & clinical care. @NatEyeInstitute @US_FDA @ONC_HealthIT have developed a roadmap for interoperability together. We will consider this strongly in future research grants @AAOjournal: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Kathryn Willis leads a methods paper to explore how individuals with diabetes and NHS staff perceive AI-assisted diabetic eye screening. A crucial step towards enhancing diabetic eye care with AI.📊👁️🤖 @SGUL_PHRI tinyurl.com/perception-ai

🔗Further work from the group showed persistence of disparities even among individuals deemed "low-risk" for sight-threatening DR, suggesting potential exacerbation of health inequalities with extended diabetic eye screening intervals. 👁️: tinyurl.com/arias-two-year

👁‍🗨Our latest study offering DR transition probabilities, unveils determinants of sight-threatening DR. By recognising ethnic and age disparities, it underscores the importance of personalised risk stratification in diabetic eye screening. 🤖Learn more: tinyurl.com/arias-dr-screen

Our recent study explored the impact of biennial vs annual DR screening in a diverse population. Biennial screening could delay detection of ~half of STDR cases, particularly among certain population subgroups, potentially leading to health inequalities bjo.bmj.com/content/early/…

@RetinaDiscovery Dive into the novel features of "ORCA" (Outer Retinal Columnar Abnormalities). In this exciting report, Claudia Liang Peng and colleagues characterise ORCA in the context of dense deposit disease. 👁‍🗨🐋

🔬 New Research Alert: A new publication led by Claudia Liang Peng. The first report of bilateral non-vasogenic cystoid macular oedema and outer retinal columnar abnormalities (ORCA) in the context of dense deposit disease: journals.lww.com/retinalcases/a…

1/ 🚨🚨 New paper alert 🚨🚨 Introducing RETFound, a foundation model for ophthalmology We’re super excited about this and hope it will act as a #Cornerstone for global efforts to prevent blindness through #AI @UCLeye @Moorfields #OpenAccess @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

Out now on @BMJ_Ophth 📣 Our study, led by @abraham_olvera1, analysing the prevalence of visual impairment compared to certification of visual impairment (CVI) in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR). bjo.bmj.com/content/early/…

Adnan Tufail @adnan_tufail1 et al. @Moorfields @UWMedicine examine whether sociodemographic and ocular factors relate to optical coherence tomography–derived foveal curvature in healthy individuals. doi.org/10.1167/iovs.6…

This was fun! We used code-free deep learning to train an algorithm to detect clinical significant posterior capsule opacification (PCO). This 🇦🇹🇬🇧collaboration between @Moorfields and Hanusch Hospital has been published now bmjophth.bmj.com/content/7/1/e0…. 🥳 1/

Now published: Estimating excess visual loss from neovascular age-related macular degeneration in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic: a retrospective clinical audit and simulation model bmjopen.bmj.com/content/12/4/e… Well done @AlasdairWarwick, Darren Thomas. @RetinaDiscovery

A big data analysis study on 15,810 eyes shows improvement in functional visual acuity over the past decade in AMD patients, but the data reveals suboptimal treatment patterns over the years. @RetinaDiscovery @Moorfields ow.ly/rdR150EC4g3
