Questions What were the methodology and outcome measures of your study evaluating a deep […]
We were delighted to catch up with Roxane Hillier (Newcastle Eye Centre, Newcastle, UK), who gave us her insights on the impact of pneumatic retinopexy (PnR) on vision-related quality of life, and retinal recovery following PnR. Questions What is the impact of pneumatic retinopexy (PnR) on vision-related quality of life? (00:13) What is known about […]
It was wonderful to speak with Roxane Hillier (Newcastle Eye Centre, Newcastle, UK) about the advantages of pneumatic retinopexy compared with pars plana vitrectomy for the management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Questions Why has the optimal surgical technique for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) been controversial? (00:12) What are the advantages of pneumatic […]
We enjoyed catching up with Paisan Ruamviboonsuk (Rajavithi Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand) about the clinical evidence supporting the use of artificial intelligence platforms in diagnosis and screening for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, and the unanswered questions that remain. Questions What clinical evidence supports the use of artificial intelligence platforms in the diagnosis and screening for polypoidal choroidal […]
It was a pleasure to speak with Paisan Ruamviboonsuk (Rajavithi Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand) about his views on artificial intelligence in ophthalmology, specifically for diagnosis and screening for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. Questions Could you give us a brief overview of your research in artificial intelligence (AI) in ophthalmology? (00:18) What is the potential of AI in […]
We were delighted to speak with Gemmy Cheung (Singapore National Eye Center, Singapore) about recent research in the pathogenesis of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, and the gaps in knowledge that remain.
