Eyes aren’t just for vision, they’re a data-rich “window” on systemic health and Optometrists can have a key role in unlocking this.

Here is my whistle-stop tour for #Optometry Today subscribers on the role Optoms can play in truly integrated care:

Just finished our orbital inflammation and TED clinic at Aintree

Despite the cold snap, we've had zero DNAs in our inflammation clinics over the last week

Huge thank you to all our patients for battling the weather & making it to their appointments🙏 Amazing

Flagging #EULAR 2024 #Rheumatology update on immunosuppressive drugs in pregnancy, breastfeeding & guidance for men again

V. imp for many of our patients, some PILs out-of-date

TL;DR

Many csDMARDs compatible; tighter on NSAIDs/steroids; TNFi ok through pregnancy; all bDMARDs OK in breastfeeding

I still find it surreal that, almost a decade-and-a-half after leaving New Zealand, I still get emails to say that I am "owed a payment" for not using all my annual and study leave during the couple of years I worked as a doctor there...

Smiling because the Derm Don, Ian C, is with us today at the Behçet's centre 👍🏻

Skin shenanigans in this disease can include:

- Pseudofolliculitis (acneiform rash)
- Superficial thrombophlebitis
- Erythema Nodosum

(Aphthous ulcers, which is why we have an oral med consultant)
