An eye-opening experience

Published May 30th, 2007 by Priya Morjaria.

Imagine your busiest day, your most difficult patients, a new test room where the only equipment in working condition, is your retinoscope and ophthalmoscope. Now multiply the patient numbers by a factor of ten, and instead of frustration you feel at the end of the day, replace it with exhaustion not just physically but emotionally […]

The Final Assessment - the Examiner’s view

Published May 21st, 2007 by Joy Myint.

Peter Chapman has written an insightful piece about the upcoming Final Assessments. As one of these “malevolentâ€? examiners I have to re-iterate his point that actually we do want to pass the candidates and not fail them. Apart from anything else, failure requires more paperwork! Joking aside, we are not “out to get youâ€?, our desire […]

Why Low Vision?

A great deal has happened with eye care in the past few years, though I am sure the cynics in the profession will continue to declare nothing has changed.

They can either sit back and be scared by Internet retailers and competition or rise […]
