Received this book today in the post- a great collection of papers including our contribution on the #genetics of congenital #cataract written with the wonderful @BellSuzannah & Reddin Ahmad 👏🏼 for Advances in #Ophthalmology & #Optometry
Today is the launch of our brand new #WVUK website, a place that brings together and celebrates all of the inspirational women in #Ophthalmology.

To mark #DNADay2021 I’m giving a virtual talk for Chandigarh’s Ophthalmological Society in India on genetic testing for children presenting with #cataracts! Diagnostic rates reach up to 90% when both eyes are affected & helps to identify syndromic/metabolic disease. 👁 ❤️Genetics
So proud of this work on understanding systemics effects in #choroideremia patients! Thanks @MariyaMoosajee and all authors involved 👏👏

This is Dasia Taylor.
She invented a new type of suture that changes color to show if a wound is infected.
She won the state science fair, became a finalist in a national competition, and now has her sights set on a patent.
She's only 17.
❓ Did you know that around 45% of the 33.6 million cases of vision loss come from cataracts?
👁️ IAPB’s Vision Atlas, officially launching tomorrow, has the latest data on cataracts and #sightloss from around the world.
Check it out here!

90% of families with genetic eye disease were satisfied with virtual consultations. Over half found them #acceptable and agreed it increased their #access to care @Moorfields. Thank you to my supervisor @MariyaMoosajee and @Kirsten_pulley and Urvi Karamchandani @Genes_MDPI
Pre-covid 65% of families with genetic eye disease preferred to have virtual consultations @Moorfields with tests done locally. During lockdown, 90% were satisfied with their #Telegenetics consultation, although 67.5% now prefer in-person appointments. https://t.co/xVFF8b49kn
Thanks for covering @eurotimes for #ESCRS2021. I can’t stress enough the benefit of undertaking #genetic testing for patients with childhood #cataract. Families have >60% molecular diagnostic rate. Great study from @Moorfields@UCLeye, all the hard work done by @BellSuzannah!
#escrs2021 Prompt genetic investigation with comprehensive panel testing can aid with the diagnosis and optimise management of cataract patients https://t.co/n1f90UoNTh
Prompt genetic investigation with comprehensive panel testing can aid with the diagnosis and optimise management of cataract patients, according to the conclusions of a study which will be presented at this weekend’s #ESCRS2021 Winter Meeting Virtual. https://t.co/n1f90UoNTh
61.4% of patients aged 0-25 obtained a genetic diagnosis for their bilateral cataracts. Looking forward to presenting this work @ESCRSofficial Winter meeting tomorrow!https://t.co/gheUJzqr8R via @MDPIOpenAccess
Cataracts were the presenting feature in 27.3% of non-isolated cases and 40% had co-morbidities. Genetic testing also altered clinical outcomes for patients. Thank you to my supervisor @MariyaMoosajee and @lloydic4461 and Samantha Malka!
