#Uveitis is inflammation inside the eye that happens in around 1 in 5 children who have Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. So if your child has #JIA, make sure they are regularly attending their #eye appointments. More about uveitis on our website at www.jarproject.org/hope/uveitis #ThinkJIA

Sympathetic ophthalmia is a rare bilateral granulomatous uveitis, usually from penetrating ocular trauma or intraocular surgery. This case highlights its rare development after plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma with extraocular extension. bit.ly/cjo_sympathe...

Uveitis is characterized by inflammation of the uvea and primarily affects adults aged 20 to 50 years. Learn more about the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of uveitis in this review. ja.ma/43O9wNL #MedSky

William Osler (1849 to 1918): "The Physician who knows Syphilis knows Medicine" #MOSUK

Fantastic overview of Syphilis from Dr Oomeer, and now we have Medical Ophthalmologist Dr Greg Heath presenting a mix of ophthalmic cases A fascinating start on not getting trapped within the quagmire of cognitive bias when we approach the patient.

The 2nd symposium for #MOSUK covered toxicities relating to cancer immunotherapies. Dr Anna Olsson-Brown gave an excellent overview of the current landscape for these important treatments and @drnimaghadiri.bsky.social neatly went through the ocular adverse events, management algorithm at Liverpool

Well done Dr Aimee Lloyd who won the free paper trophy prize at #MOSUK this year. Her excellent presentation was on immunosuppression and secondary choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in patients with punctate inner chorioretinopathy (PIC) Well done Aimee!
