ALT A photo of an unrecognizable ophthalmologist checking the eyesight of a woman on a vision screener is on the left. The heading on the right reads Glasgow Caledonian Vision Sciences behind new eye image bank. The text below reads "In Scotland we’ve been taking photographs of the back of people’s eyes for over 10 years and we didn’t do anything with this huge set of images until now. A lot of these images will be very useful to predict changes earlier in the disease process." - Professor Niall Strang, Vision Research Group. Underneath there is a red banner reading #Red4Research 2023. The blue Glasgow Caledonian University Research Centre for Health logo is in the top right.
