Thirty years ago children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) were at high risk of not only crippling physical disability, but also visual loss secondary to cataract, glaucoma and macular oedema caused by their chronic uveitis, or the steroids we used to treat it. Now, thanks to the development of targeted biological therapies, by clinical scientists like Andrew Dick, these children are living normal active lives and their risk of sight loss has been dramatically reduced.In this episode of Eyes on Tomorrow we talk to Andrew about his career-long interest in immunology and inflammatory eye disease and the impact of translational research which has led to a better understanding of cytokine inflammatory pathways in uveitis, the subsequent development of TNF inhibitors and finally landmark trials, like the Sycamore Trial.Andrew stresses the critical importance of working closely with paediatric rheumatologists and of involving patients, no matter how young, in the management of their disease.He has pioneered a “zero-tolerance” approach for the long-term use of topical and systemic steroids, in patients with uveitis, facilitated by the use of biological agents and this has dramatically improved the visual prognosis for patients with uveitis.We also touch upon his clinical approach to new cases of uveitis, his tips for optometrists when confronted by a patient with uveitis and what his passions are away from work.Subscribers to the podcast will have access to the Bonus video episode in which Andrew discusses promising new uveitis treatments, the challenges of managing patients with Gene Therapy Associated Uveitis, his advice to potential budding clinical scientists and his thoughts on leadership.All in all a fantastic listen for anyone who wants to learn more about inflammatory eye disease.Subscribe at eyesontomorrow.substack.com/subscribeProduced by Matt Hill at Rethink Audio.

Shrouded in secrecy, 75 years ago, Sir Harold Ridley's first IOL implantations ignited political fall-out amongst the ophthalmological establishment. They led to decades of trial and error experimentation, during which a multitude of IOL designs were implanted, often at a terrible cost to the patient.Today we are celebrating that first implantation, back on 29th November 1949.We are joined by Larry Benjamin one of the UKs leading cataract surgeons and surgical trainers, who takes us on a fascinating journey charting the evolution of cataract surgery from antiquity to the present day. Larry also talks about the equally bumpy evolution of phacoemulsification surgery, championed by the flamboyant Charles Kelman.Despite the many setbacks, and often personal cost, these pioneering surgeons were undeterred and we have them to thank for helping to create one of the world's safest and most transformational operations, which has restored the vision of millions of patients around the world.You can get full access to Eyes On Tomorrow, including:* Bonus conversations from our guests* PDFs of reading material linked to topics discussed in the podcast and perfect for your CPD* Summaries of the key learnings as a regular newsletter* Discussion with other subscribersAll for just £25 per year, when you subscribe at eyesontomorrow.substack.com/subscribeProduced by Matt Hill at Rethink Audio.

As Russian forces escalated their war of aggression against Ukraine in 2022, Western governments scrambled to sanction oligarchs connected to Putin's war machine. Yet the task is far from simple when Kremlin-connected tycoons hide their billions in offshore trusts and Swiss bank accounts — and even behind the names of their family members.In this episode, Nick Wallis talks with OCCRP editing duo Miranda Patrucic and Ilya Lozovsky, discussing how billionaire Alisher Usmanov concealed his fortune via secretive companies, business associates and family members — including Swiss bank accounts in his sister's name despite her seemingly modest trade as a gynecologist.We also hear from British Member of Parliament Kevin Hollinrake on how Russia's invasion sparked a campaign to clamp down on dirty money washed through the U.K., as well as how effective Western sanctions have been in choking off the lifelines to Putin's military campaign.Dirty Deeds is a Little Gem production for OCCRP.
