Fundus image makes impression with judges

Essex-based optometrist Steve Morris has been crowned Specsavers UK clinical photographer for his fundus image of a young girl’s optic disc with a double helix looping blood vessel.

Morris was awarded a Pentax camera for his image, which judges praised for its high quality, sharp focus and illumination of an interesting finding.

Now in its eight year, the competition showcases the best fundus and anterior images captured by Specsavers stores worldwide. The entries are used for future Specsavers training materials.

Specsavers UK director of clinical services Simon Williams said: ‘The judges continued to be impressed year on year with the range of really interesting conditions and pathology captured and the quality of the images.’
