Help our researchers develop a better visual fields test for detection.



We are inviting people aged over 40 years with good vision in one or both eyes (with or without glasses or contact lenses), who don’t have an eye condition, to take part in a study aimed at better ways to detect visual field loss. To be eligible, you must have no direct relatives diagnosed with glaucoma.



As part of this project, people will be invited to take part in some non-invasive experiments - they will look at a computer monitor and press a button each time they see a brief spot of light appear on the screen, anywhere in their side vision. Participants will receive £20 compensation, which includes travel expenses.



If you are interested in taking part, or know someone who might be, you can find more information about the study on our website: Vision research and aged over 40 - Moorfields Eye Hospital

Three of the first conditions treated affect eyes. Peter Thomas, our consultant ophthalmologist working with the NHS England team, said: “Patients are being seen more quickly in more appropriate settings, and the pressure on NHS services is being reduced"

Four colleagues from our children’s hospital gave up their time to give life-changing surgery to patients from right across Rwanda.

They also trained teams to be able to carry on the surgery without them – but they got more from the people they met than they gave.

Wishing a Happy Hanukkah to all our patients, staff and volunteers celebrating the Festival of Lights.

As Hanukkah begins, we reflect on the themes of light, resilience, and hope, while acknowledging with deep sadness the tragic events at Bondi Beach in Sydney this weekend. Our thoughts are with all those affected, and with the emergency services, hospitals and healthcare teams who have been responding.
