How early can we detect retinal changes in children with inherited eye disease?

Our latest paper’s findings suggest the retina starts remodelling before symptoms appear, offering new insights into early disease stages and future treatments.

In the UK disabled women are nearly twice as likely to experience sexual violence than non disabled women.

This is why I’m asking men to be aware of how they approach a situation where a disabled woman may need assistance.

Be the aware safe nice helpful dude in your approach, actions & words.

If you are a man & need to offer assistance to a blind woman just think about how you can make the situation as safe as possible.

Introduce yourself & give an immediately explanation. “Hi I’m Mike, there is a car blocking the way how can I best assist you?”

Never touch without asking.

I am really excited to share with you our new paper! In this review we compare Charles Bonnet Syndrome to phantom limb and tinnitus syndrome, we noticed that the commonality between these conditions is a lack of sensory input.
