September 04, 2019 NHS To Offer New Gene Therapy Treatment For Rare Eye Disease
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) approved the use of a new gene therapy treatment that could slow down sight loss.

August 16, 2019 AI vs Eye Disease
Recent years saw developments in technology greatly improve the lives of blind and partially sighted people, but could we take these developments even further and use artificial intelligence to diagnose eye disease?

We spoke with ophthalmologist Dr Pearse Keane, who started a collaboration between Moorfields Eye Hospital and Google’s DeepMind in hope that patients with fast-progressing sight loss could be diagnosed quicker.

Dr Keane spoke with RNIB Connect Radio’s Paulina Kuchorew.
