Congratulations to Dr Jack Phu and Prof Michael Kalloniatis who have had their most recent paper accepted for publication in the very prestigious American Journal of Ophthalmology!

Dr Lisa Nivison-Smith is leading a collaborative study between CFEH and the Singapore National Eye Centre that examines changes in the choroid with age.

Last night a team of CFEH Lead Clinicians presented a live webinar in collaboration with Optometry Australia. The webinar was entitled “Five papers that will change the way you practice optometry”. Our presenters covered recent publications around topics ranging from the management of acute retinal ischaemia through to the integration of teleophthalmology for patient management.

Referrer update – CFEH is now able to post your patient report and images to My Health Record.

Dr Lisa Nivison-Smith has an article appearing in the June issue of Pharma magazine. Lisa looks at peripheral retinal changes in a patient with AMD and reviews the literature around the presence of peripheral degenerative changes in patients who have AMD specific gene variants.

This May, as a part of macular month, CFEH Lead Clinician (Macula) Dr Angelica Ly has written an article for Mivision that discusses the management of patients with AMD. The article is open access and available at the link below:

CFEH Lead clinician (macula) Dr Angelica Ly is lead author on a review published during May in Clinical and Experimental Optometry that looks at the evidence base around routine use of OCT in clinical practice. The paper is open access and available at the link below:

During May the CFEH research team were invited to present their recent findings at ARVO in Vancouver Canada. They have put together a short video to show everyone what they have been up to. Undoubtedly, they had a wonderful trip and enjoyed furthering their knowledge in the latest ophthalmic research!
