We've had a bit of a break while we've been writing a book, but consultant opthalmologist Mr Mike Austin asked if he could record a podcast about the anatomy of the eye in preparation for his teaching week. We talk about the importance of the eye clinically, and relate the anatomy of the eye to loss of vision and other pathology.
