Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology最新文献

With the increased availability of genetic testing and the addition of mitochondrial genetic variants on disease panels, accurate genetic counselling for individuals and families affected by, or at risk of, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is becoming increasingly relevant. Challenges in providing genetic counselling for LHON include its mitochondrial inheritance pattern, different haplogroups, incomplete penetrance and that it predominantly affects males. Accurate genetic counselling aims to avoid incorrect disease-risk assessment and delays in either diagnosis or implementation of psychosocial support. Families are also empowered to make autonomous health decisions regarding potential trigger factors for LHON vision loss and informed reproductive choices. Using clinical vignettes, this review demonstrates that an increased awareness of LHON amongst eye care, general and genetic health professionals can address challenges and misconceptions.

The Norman McAlister Gregg Lecture was established in 1958 by the Council of the Ophthalmological Society of Australia in recognition of the outstanding contribution made to ophthalmology by Sir Norman Gregg. The lecture covers a clinical or basic science topic that has clinical relevance and may cover some facet of work not previously published (both ophthalmologists and non-ophthalmologists can be considered). The presentation shall be for 25 min duration and will include 5 min for questions or discussion. The lecture becomes the property of the College. A “Gregg Medal” is presented, together with a certificate, to the lecturer at the conclusion of the lecture.

The Council Lecture was established in 1963 to honour Fellows engaged in original work, or to establish a means whereby a Fellow can deliver an authoritative and distinguished lecture on a subject of which the Fellow has particular experience or knowledge. The presentation shall be for 25 min duration and will include 5 min for questions or discussion. The lecture becomes the property of the College. The Council Lecture provides an opportunity for Fellows who are not necessarily a member of an academic department to present their work. It generally goes to senior Fellows who have made a contribution to clinical ophthalmology. A certificate is presented to the lecturer at the conclusion of the lecture.

The Dame Ida Mann Memorial Lecture was established in 1988 by the Council of the College in recognition of the outstanding contribution made to ophthalmology by Dame Ida Mann. The presentation shall be for 25 min duration and will include 5 min for questions or discussion to cover an important topic that is oriented to the basic or novel clinical sciences of ophthalmology with clinical relevance (not confined to Fellows). The lecture becomes the property of the College. A certificate is presented to the lecturer at the conclusion of the lecture.

The Fred Hollows Lecture was established in 1999 to recognise the work Prof Fred Hollows did with Indigenous people and in raising the profile of ophthalmology. The Hollows Lecture is for Fellows involved in outreach or international ophthalmology. The presentation shall be for 25 min duration and will include 5 min for discussion to address a topic of applied public health research with a community focus. The lecture becomes the property of the College. A certificate is presented to the lecturer at the conclusion of the lecture.
