Welcome to the Retinal Hub

This website was designed to foster and encourage communication between Optometry and Ophthalmology.

Patients with retinal eye pathology are perhaps the most frequently seen in our clinics .

Retinal disease often tells a story and it can be difficult to elicit all parts of this story on one visit alone or with a single set of investigations on one occassion. A co-management approach is often needed , even if this is simply by sharing advice among peers or a retinal specialist .
This is the purpose of The Retinal Hub : to simply serve as a medium of communication.

For our disciplines of Ophthalmology or Optometry. Please feel free to comment on the online forum on the cases or recent news/articles on diagnosis and management. We encourage use of the online forum to post OCT or other retinal images for opinions etc. This is reviewed on a weekly basis.

For our patients . The Retinal Hub allows free access to information phamplets , general information on retinal procedures and clinics and the opportunity to make an appointment.

We recognise that a good clinician is one who never stops questioning the validilty of current opinion and management strategies. The Retinal Hub promotes topical discussion withinin the retinal field , thereby building solid foundations for co-management

I hope you find this a useful communication tool and are able to come back to it with your insightful topics discussion, questions and opinions.

Looking forward to working together to fight all retinal disease!
