Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionised cancer treatment, but with that comes an expanding spectrum of immune-related adverse events I spoke about ocular toxicities including dry eye, #uveitis, and the increasingly described VKH-like syndrome. www.linkedin.com/posts/nimagh...

Today on #InternationalDoctorsDay, we honour the legacy of Dr Crawford Long, who first used ether anaesthesia on 30 March 1842, helping transform medicine and surgery forever. This is a day to celebrate the skill, courage and compassion of doctors past and present. 🩺⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️👨🏻‍⚕️ #DoctorsDay

Happy #Norouz! 🌷 This ancient Persian New Year, celebrated by over 300 million people worldwide, marks the arrival of Spring, and the period of renewal. This year the eternal triumph of light over darkness is needed more than ever... medium.com/doctoryak/no... #nowruz2026 #nowruz

My latest piece for Eye News magazine focuses on something no ophthalmologist should have to confront: the deliberate weaponisation of blinding in protests, with a focus on #Iran. Sight is dignity, identity, independence and witness. We mustn't look away: www.eyenews.uk.com/features/oph...

Fifth year running taking part in national Medical #Ophthalmology interviews today Exciting to see such enthusiasm for this small but hugely important specialty at the eye-systemic axis Read: www.eyenews.uk.com/features/oph... www.rcpe.ac.uk/career-suppo... www.thefederation.uk/training/spe...

Norouz, Still. Norouz (Friday 20th March 2026) arrives in Iran with grief, repression, war, and digital blackout under this regime, yet still it comes. Around the haft-seen, in poetry, food, memory, and quiet defiance, people choose hope. medium.com/doctoryak/no... #Norouz #Nowruz

Chaharshanbe Suri, the ancient Persian "Festival of Fire" held on the last Tuesday eve of the year, symbolizes purification, renewal, and the triumph of light over darkness. #ChaharshanbeSuri #Norouz #Nowruz

👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼 Celebrating our sister society @UKNOSoc MOSUK was delighted to support this year’s UKNOS meeting at RCP Spaces on 26–27 Feb 2026. A fantastic programme focused on inflammatory disease at the eye-brain interface, with neuro-#ophthalmology, #neurology and allied professionals bit.ly/4sNzDOE

Persian poet Saadi’s Bani Adam feels more urgent than ever. In a world of conflict, massacre, and human suffering, it reminds us that we belong to one another. And that when we grow numb to the pain of others, we lose something of our own humanity... Video credit: Apollo's Fire

Was bitten by a stray cat at the @unesco.bsky.social World Heritage site of Essaouira, Morocco, after I accidentally stepped on its tail, hidden on a colourful rug at a shop entrance. Rabies is endemic in Morocco - received immunoglobulin + day 0 vaccine promptly at the anti-rabies centre...

What a fantastic day at the 27th Annual Medical Ophthalmology Society UK (MOSUK) meeting! Hosted at the striking @RCPspaces in Liverpool on Feb 25th, 2026, this day celebrates the Eye-Systemic Axis. Hosted by Dr Greg Heath & @drnimaghadiri.bsky.social www.linkedin.com/posts/medica...

A replica of the Cyrus Cylinder (real one is in Room 52 of the British Museum), the world’s first charter of human rights. Issued by Iranian king Cyrus the Great in 539 BC it records his policy of repatriating displaced peoples and restoring temples #HumanRights #Iran #FreeIran

So many fourth year students @liverpooluni.bsky.social are getting in contact for research projects, audits, case reports & just to observe in clinics and theatres Hard to keep up with enquiries, but I absolutely love to see the enthusiasm 🤗 @livuni-ilcams.bsky.social @livunimedicine.bsky.social

It’s never Lupus… or is it? 🐺 Last month we had a fantastic #Uveitis NW meeting at RCP Spaces at the Spine, highlighting why collaboration between specialities is vital, taking lessons from House MD about avoiding anchoring & spotting masquerades. #Ophthalmology #Rheumatology

I lose followers each time I tweet about #IranMassacre The core of medicine is the preservation of life and the relief of suffering. If I stay silent while others are in pain, I lose the very essence of what I do. 🤝❤️ "The one with no empathy is not a human" - Saadi

📢 Out now: The Feb/Mar '26 edition @EyeNewsMag From AI forecasting #DiabeticRetinopathy in the UK to sustainable surgery in Rwanda, we’re exploring where the specialty is going, and how it’s getting there. 📖 Main issue: bit.ly/4aaG8mW #Ophthalmology #Oculomics #AI

Build people up, don't tear them down. This should be something to be proud of, Dr Hemmati, especially for a colleague 🤷🏻‍♂️ #Ophthalmology

Rest in peace our colleague, General Physician Dr Maryam Zardasht from Shiraz, who was beaten to the verge of death by IRGC forces for treating wounded Iranian protestors. She died after a week in ICU This regime explicitly targeting those who care for human life #IranMassacre

No one should lose their sight for demanding a voice. We are all human beings and have a responsibility to each other. Thank you to those who speak out for others regardless of your politics/beliefs. 🫂🙏🏻🙏🏻🫂 #BaniAdam

Blinding as a weapon: iranwire.com/en/category/... iranwire.com/en/features/...

Looking forward to our pack of North-West residents and fellows gathering to sharpen our diagnostic senses, as we track down the oculo-systemic manifestations of Lupus next week #Uveitis #Lupus 🌕🐺

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 💯 🟩⬜🟥 #IranMassacre #FreeIran #IranRevoIution2026 #DigitalBlackoutlran #Iran

6,000 ocular trauma cases at one Tehran eye hospital (Noor) alone over the last week. God knows what these people are going through... #Iran #DigitalBlackoutIran

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.

Finally being picked up by the media: We already saw this awful practice of targeting civilians' eyes in the #WomanLifeFreedom protests Eye centres like Farabi Eye Hospital are unable to cope: www.theguardian.com/global-devel... #EyesOnIran: medium.com/doctoryak/ey... #DigitalBlackoutIran

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: medium.com/doctoryak/ey...

Many hospitals in Iran are now inundated 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. www.ft.com/content/088b...

The number of people requiring interventions against #trachoma, the world’s leading infectious cause of blindness, has fallen below 100 million for the first time since global records began. 314 million people (2011) to 97 million now www.who.int/news/item/06... @whofides.bsky.social @who.int

Alzheimer’s therapies should target a particular gene, "Modelling suggesting up to nine in 10 Alzheimer’s cases may not occur without its influence" www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2026/ja... www.theguardian.com/society/2026... #AlzheimersAwareness #Alzheimers

Are medical instructions designed for the patient's convenience, or the doctor's? With 1 in 6 UK adults facing literacy gaps, we overhauled our surgical post-op guides: fewer words, more visuals & video Better access = better outcomes @eyejournal.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... #NHS
