Eyes On Tomorrow

An Optometrist and an Ophthalmologist discuss - sometimes over a pint of Guinness - how these two previously fractious disciplines have been brought closer together. From different sides of the Irish border, John Ferris and Dermot Keogh know a thing or two about overcoming division. Their guests bring extensive experience and expertise from across the two sectors: they share their passion for all things optical, discuss how the fields of Optometry and Ophthalmology can learn from each other, and the medical developments that are just over the horizon. eyesontomorrow.substack.com

    Happy Birthday Intraocular Lens Implants! With Larry Benjamin

    Shrouded in secrecy, 75 years ago, Sir Harold Ridley's first IOL implantations ignited political fall-out amongst the ophthalmological establishment. They led to decades of trial and error experimentation, during which a multitude of IOL designs were implanted, often at a terrible cost to the patient. Today we are celebrating that first implantation, back on 29th November 1949. We are joined by Larry Benjamin one of the UKs leading cataract surgeons and surgical trainers, who takes us on a fascinating journey charting the evolution of cataract surgery from antiquity to the present day. Larry also talks about the equally bumpy evolution of phacoemulsification surgery, championed by the flamboyant Charles Kelman. Despite the many setbacks, and often personal cost, these pioneering surgeons were undeterred and we have them to thank for helping to create one of the world’s safest and most transformational operations, which has restored the vision of millions of patients around the world.

    Prof. Robyn Gymer: The rapidly evolving field of Geographic Atrophy

    Spurred on by the seemingly hopeless plight of patients with AMD, professor Robyn Gymer is one of the leading lights in dry AMD research.  Robyn explains why it was important to have developed a universally accepted classification for GA, the relationships between macular structure and function, and why early OCT signs of nascent GA can help us identify who is at risk of progression. She also explores the potential role of complement blockers and gene therapy in slowing the progression of GA. This episode is a perfect way to get up to speed with the rapidly evolving field of GA, a condition with which 60 million people globally will suffer by 2040. Plus Robyn regales us with a wonderful anecdote about her first Moorfields clinic with Professor Bird, when her rather direct Antipodean manner left the other British trainees open-mouthed! You can hear more from Robyn in our subscriber episode, including the crucial role of nutrition and diet in the aetiology of AMD.  You can get full access to Eyes On Tomorrow, including: * Monthly bonus conversations from our guests   * PDFs of reading material  linked to topics discussed in the podcast and perfect for your CPD * Summaries of the key learnings as a regular newsletter * Discussion with other subscribers All for just £25 per year, when you subscribe at eyesontomorrow.substack.com/subscribe Produced by Daisy Chakoo at Rethink Audio.

    Prof. Peter Scanlon: the 'Founding father’ of diabetic retinopathy screening

    What was the motivation that led Professor Peter Scanlon to develop a digital screening service in Gloucestershire? And how did he transform this into a national screening program, which has been adopted in over 30 countries around the world?  John and Dermot learn how managing the finances of his contact lens practice, which he ran from his basement in Cheltenham, helped Peter to stand up to managers who wanted to take control of his research budgets. He shares his tips for dealing with bureaucracy and for a long and happy career, along with personal reflections on team building and leadership. Peter also tells us an amazing story of his encounter with a young Chinese girl with an unusual retinopathy. As he approaches his 70th birthday Professor Scanlon’s passion for his work, his desire to innovate and his empathy for his patients remain undiminished. Produced by Matt Hill at Rethink Audio.
