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 22: Corneal Disease - Big problems in young eyes
The podcast starts with an interview with Joshua and his mother Diane. We hear about the discomfort Joshua experienced and the challenges of getting an accurate diagnosis before being treated at the Royal Victoria hospital in Belfast where he is still under ophthalmologist care.
Michelle Hanratty then discusses the presentation, differential diagnosis and management of vernal keratoconjunctivitis with Mr Michael O’Gallagher, consultant ophthalmic surgeon and specialist in paediatric corneal disease.
The second part moves on to blepharokeratoconjunctivitis before concluding with an insight into how to best manage children with these conditions.
