Celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

At Moorfields, we are proud to work alongside so many incredible, intelligent and talented women, whose curiosity and innovation are shaping the future of STEM and driving real advances in patient care and research.

To mark the day, we spoke with Ana Sanchez, Head of the Moorfields Electro-Biomedical Engineering Department, about her career journey and what inspired her to follow a path in science and engineering.

A new article from the College of Optometrists investigates how artificial intelligence can be used to advance eye care and oculomics – using biomarkers in the eye to detect systemic conditions such as dementia and heart disease.

Decoding Disease: the latest edition of Acuity, the journal of the College of Optometrists, explores how AI is transforming eye care by supporting earlier disease detection, clearer tracking and more accurate referrals.

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

Moorfields at the heart of new NHS Online service

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.
