Welcome to the March issue of The Ophthalmologist! You’ll find the latest research in Upfront – our news segment – plus opinion pieces from some of ophthalmology’s brightest minds in In My View. This month, Sheraz Daya shares his thoughts on calcified IOLs, while Brian Joondeph considers the Obamacare's future in Trump’s America. In our feature, Europe’s leading retinal surgeons explain how breakthrough gene therapies are changing the way we treat retinal disease. In Practice sees Bhavin Shah ruminate on tomorrow’s myopia pandemic, while Alexandre Pedinielli and Francesca Amoroso – creators of the OD-OS Navilas Retina Laser – talk about the art of invention in our NextGen section. We also take a moment to reflect on the life-changing legacy of Amos Twinamasiko in Profession, before we Sit Down With Paulo Stanga, lead vitreoretinal surgeon at the London Vision Clinic. Enjoy!
