Intravitreal complement inhibitor treatment for GA viewed favorably by patients: hubs.li/Q03MpCmV0
Crabb Lab Research retweeted
Up to 82% of UK patients with geographic atrophy would accept intravitreal complement inhibitor therapy if it offered vision benefits, with perceived effectiveness and ability to attend clinic visits driving acceptability.

I’m not normally in the habit of writing personal pieces but this essay (link in reply) is about my experience of sight loss.

Very excited to be back in the classroom as Honorary Professor of Health at City! Paving the way for even larger collaborations with @crabblab too. Thanks so much for a dream job @CityUniLondon
⏰ No quick fix.
Vision in glaucoma wont get "better" short-term, but pressure-lowering treatment protects it long-term.🛣️

Fantastic work presented @aao_ophth by @GiovMontesano (with @g_ometto ) and our collaborators Anthony King @nottmhospitals and @gusgazzard illustrating importance of visual field progression metrics in #glaucoma trials
@glaucoma_uk #ophthalmology #perimetry
During Subspecialty Day at AAO 2024 in Chicago, experts from the UK, Dr. Giovanni Montesano and Dr. Anthony King, both emphasized the importance of reducing the drop burden and that early (surgical) intervention in glaucoma treatment will lead to better visual field outcomes in patients.
