Welcome to Sound Optometry, a podcast from Docet hosted by Michelle Hanratty, an IP optometrist with over 20 years’ experience in both high street and hospital settings. Each month, through case studies and in-depth conversations, we explore the topics that matter most to you as an optometrist and are relevant to everyday practice.
Episode 6 - Medical Retina
Medical retina is a fascinating topic, and in this episode the focus is on age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We first hear from a patient that was referred by his optometrist for wet AMD eight years ago and learn about his subsequent experience in accessing treatment. Michelle Hanratty then explores the referral, investigation, and management of wet macular degeneration with consultant ophthalmologist Rupal Morjaria. Finally, we explore the developments in gene therapy for macula conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa.
