AI-supported eye screening almost doubled clinic attendance among patients with potentially sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy in Tanzania, according to a study published in @LancetGH. AI could improve access to specialist care. #NIHR20 🔗buff.ly/XXPDiAs @LSHTM

👁️ A dynamic partnership has delivered three published papers including a landmark genetic study that shone new light on how the eye develops its sharpest vision. The #NIHRBRCLeicester and @MoorfieldsBRC partnership began with Dr Mervyn Thomas, Clinical Associate Professor, Honorary Consultant Ophthalmologist and Clinical Lead (Ulverscroft Eye Unit) at the @uniofleicester attending @Moorfields Eye Hospital, London clinics to gain experience and familiarity with the inherited retinal disease cohort. Inherited retinal disorders are the second most common cause of severe visual impairment in childhood and the leading cause in the working-age population. Although they are predominantly untreatable, research in this field is deepening our understanding and bringing us closer to a future with effective treatments Read about the impact of this partnership so far on our website: leicesterbrc.nihr.ac.uk/moor… #WorldSightDay
