Do you have dry eyes and also an autoimmune condition? Are you based in Melbourne?

If so, you may be eligible to participate in a clinical study @UniMelbDOVS that is evaluating a new investigational treatment for dry eye disease in people with autoimmune conditions.

Celebrating another great year with the @FrontTear_UoM lab team, capped off with a wine (or two) to celebrate the promotion of the amazing @holly_chinnery to Associate Professor and my promotion to Professor. 🍷

This week, we revisited the graduating class of 2012’s optometry journey. Anna van Koeverden, a part of that class, shares her cherished memories from that time." 📚

Great job by Dr @sumeer007, @AnnajhLee, @ShanRajni and Senuri Karunaratne from @FrontTear_UoM @holly_chinnery @UniMelbDOVS @unimelb sharing their latest research on blue light filtering lenses, corneal neuropathy and eye allergy at #omega23 #wco4 @OptometryAus.

The way we use our eyes when we stare at a screen for long periods of time, especially close up to our faces, can cause discomfort. Here are a few tips that may help, according to experts. https://t.co/oK5xdJ0jpC

Thank you ⁦@DrShaneRRR⁩ and team for the opportunity for ⁦@holly_chinnery⁩ and I to chat about our latest ⁦@FrontTear_UoM⁩ research on corneal immune cells on ⁦@einstein_agogo⁩ ⁦@3RRRFM⁩ today. ⁦@UniMelbDOVS⁩ ⁦@UniMelbMDHS⁩ @unimelb

[UniMelbDOVS @UniMelbDOVS]

How exciting 🤓 An in depth read of the Cochrane review by @sumeer007 @DrLauraDownie, et al. in the link looking at whether blue light filtering lenses reduce eye strain @FrontTear_UoM

[Prof Laura Downie @DrLauraDownie]

Excited to be sharing our exciting recent findings @FrontTear_UoM about human corneal immune cells, on @3RRRFM with @DrShaneRRR @einstein_agogo this Sunday 20th August at 11am AEST, with @holly_chinnery @UniMelbDOVS @unimelbMDHS @UniMelb.

Do blue light-filtering lenses reduce eye strain?

Our @CochraneLibrary systematic review evaluates the evidence and shows there may be no advantage c/w clear lenses.

More research from our @FrontTear_UoM Research Centre @UnmelbDOVS led by amazing post-doc @Mengliang_Wu showing that hyperreflective nerve features on corneal confocal images not only occur in diseased eyes https://t.co/WCuwQeg2UM @ClinExpOphthal @holly_chinnery @UnimelbMDHS

[Insight News @InsightOphtNews]

@UniMelb researchers have discovered that T cells guard the cornea from pathogens and inflammation, not dendritic cells, as previously thought.

Today, we share our exciting discovery in @PNASNews that T cells patrol healthy human corneas. To date, these cells were mistakenly considered dendritic cells based on static imaging. This finding shifts the current dogma that only dendritic cells are present in human corneas,

For Dry-eye Awareness Month, we celebrate the cutting-edge dry-eye research, led by A/Prof @DrLauraDownie and her team. Exciting lab projects: dry eye diagnosis tech, ocular surface imaging, & trials of next-gen therapy. Follow @FrontTear_UoM for updates on the latest research.
