A Theoretical Model for Predicting Interfacial Relationships of Retinal Tamponades
This collaborative work with Moorfields Eye Hospital consultants (Mr Angunawela, Mr Alyward) relates to the tamponade which keeps the retina fixed in position following surgery. Together with a companion paper (IRVOS, 2011, V52, 7046-7051) on tamponade dynamics, this paper demonstrates that post-operative patient posturing is unnecessary in cases of retinal breaks treated with tamponades. This has provided support for modifying clinical practice by Mr Alyward. This work has led to 2 PhD studentships, supported by Moorfields Charity funds, in collaboration with Prof Luthert (Director of IOOP on retinal blood flow, p.luthert@ucl.ac.uk) and Prof Khaw (p.khaw@ucl.ac.uk) on glaucoma.
