Bill Harvey: Rock lobster

I am sure some of you remember those simulation specs we were given to play with as students that aimed to demonstrate the impact upon vision of some common diseases. The AMD ones had a big dark splodge in the middle of the lenses, cataract had translucent lenses and the glaucoma ones had the periphery of the lenses blocked off. I am equally sure that, like me, you soon realised how poor these devices (which are still used) were, having met patients with the actual disease. Particularly so the glaucoma ones. Crabb Lab to the rescue.

One benefit of the lockdown has been the increase in online events of excellent quality. The lecture/webinar series offered by Heidelberg, Thea and the Royal Society of Medicine spring to mind and, based on previous experience, the BCLA virtual event in a fortnight should be well worth attending.
