Ocular Surface Insight
Changes in our screen use habits during lockdown have had an impact on our eye health. Brian reminds us of the importance of just doing the simple things to care for our vision.
“Lockdown and Home Working Screen Eyes
If we could help in the simplest way. It’s waving a magic wand to make people blink more efficiently..more often and more a complete blink…
You can’t see out of a dirty car windscreen. The eyes are the same .. and they hurt!”

Today, Arthur Cummings, OSI Editor, gave us a quick peek into his busy schedule. And gives us his personal motto….
“Busy week with a lot of surgical procedures and thankfully, no signs of ocular surface issues, given that patients are prepared so well prior to surgery with drops, warm compresses, Meibomian Gland expression, omega-3s and more. “Prevention is better than cure” is our motto”
Arthur Cummings, OSI Editor

Every writer has a pen, every chef has a knife and every optometrist has a slit lamp. It featured prominently, for good reason, in our previous list of ‘The top five tools I cannot live without when diagnosing ocular surface disease’ and can be used in 90 per cent of dry eye investigation without having to invest in additional tools.
The bio-microscope is an essential weapon in our eye care armoury and it is something that we use day in, day out in every examination. It is essential in contact lens fitting and aftercare and, when used properly, allows us to do so much of our everyday work.
