Revisiting July 2019 at Aravind Eye Hospital, Pondicherry, when we had the privilege of hosting two renowned clinician-scientists shaping the future of eye care 👁️🌍
🔹 Dr. Gabriela Czanner
A Senior Researcher in Biostatistics and Eye & Vision Science at the University of Liverpool, contributing to clinical research and AI-driven eye care.
🔹 Dr. Colin Willoughby
Professor of Ophthalmology at Ulster University and Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon with the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust, with an honorary role at the University of Liverpool.
Their visit to our glaucoma services focused on the early use of artificial intelligence for glaucoma screening in vision centres—a vision that remains highly relevant today.
A meaningful exchange of ideas — then and now ✨

Can we detect glaucoma better in highly myopic eyes?
This study evaluates Bruch’s Membrane Opening–Minimum Rim Width (BMO-MRW) as a diagnostic marker for glaucoma in high myopia (≤ −6D) and compares it with the conventional peripapillary RNFL thickness.

Study Design:
▪️ 90 myopic subjects (one eye per patient)
▪️ Group A: Normal controls (30)
▪️ Group B: Glaucoma suspects (30)
▪️ Group C: POAG patients (30)
▪️ OCT imaging performed using Spectralis SD-OCT

📊 Key Findings:
▪️ Sectoral BMO-MRW demonstrated superior diagnostic performance compared to pRNFLT for early glaucoma detection
▪️ Significantly higher AUCs were noted in:
 • Temporal quadrant
 • Temporal-superior quadrant
 • Nasal-inferior quadrant
▪️ When differentiating early glaucoma from suspects, BMO-MRW consistently outperformed pRNFLT, with a significant difference in the temporo-superior sector

💡Why this matters:
Diagnosing glaucoma in myopic eyes is challenging. BMO-MRW emerges as a more reliable OCT-based parameter, helping improve early detection and clinical decision-making in this high-risk group.

At Aravind Eye Hospital, the registration desk is more than data entry—it is the first step in safe, efficient patient care.
Our double-screen registration system is used across multiple registration points
• New registrations
• Old patients
• Follow-up visits and many more places.
While the staff enters details on one screen, patients can see their information live on a second monitor facing them.
Name, age, and purpose of visit can be read, verified, and corrected immediately.
For elderly patients who are unable to read the screen clearly, presbyopic glasses are provided on the spot, ensuring they can participate equally in confirming their own details.
This simple approach minimizes demographic errors at the outset, eliminates repeated verification later, enables a seamless flow to consultation, and builds transparency, dignity, and trust from the very first interaction.
