These are sombre days for those of us with family in Iran. Sometimes it's good to keep busy and there's nothing better than a good NHS Uveitis clinic with no DNAs 💯

I haven't heard from my family in Iran, but just spoke to a fellow Ophthalmologist who briefly was able to use satellite.
The eye trauma cases, civilians indiscriminately targeted by regime forces with shotguns, is being under-reported.
Eye centres can't cope, they are broken.

Veiled by the #DigitalBlackout in Iran: regime security forces deliberately target protesters' eyes.
Over 500 severe eye injuries were reported in Farabi eye hospital over 48 hours. Thoughts with victims and the ophthalmology staff who are working in a healthcare crisis:

Thinking of all of those who can't access healthcare now, and the clinicians too, especially with Ophthalmology centres such as Farabi Eye Hospital which are unable to deal currently with eye trauma 😥🫂

Disappointed, but not surprised, by the words and actions of Sir Paul Nurse, President of the Royal Society.
What an insult to the scientists who were killed under authoritarianism. To women, over the centuries, who had to combat misogyny in the sciences.
