Can we develop a fast, reliable and cheap way to monitor Birdshot’s progress?

Testing a handheld device that measures electrical activity in the eye.

How many new cases of birdshot are there each year?

A UK study that’s the first of its kind in the world.

A patient-friendly way to measure flare-ups of birdshot uveitis

Developing non-invasive scanning to improve treatment options

Too much of one thing or too little of another: what’s behind your intermediate uveitis?

A genetic test that could mean personalised treatment.

Are the genetics of birdshot related to iron overload in the eye?

Investigating a link that could lead to a new option for treatment with a drug that’s already available

Studying birdshot using stem cells from patients

Making it easier to fill in the gaps in current knowledge and create a test bed for developing treatments

Identifying children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis at risk of uveitis

Aiming to prevent a common cause of childhood blindness

Development of a cell therapy treatment for uveitis

Image fusion in the analysis of ocular inflammatory disease

Aim is to analyse the diseased eyes of animals at known stages of uveitis, and use modern methods of computer aided image processing to develop our understanding of how to interpret changes in tissue texture and appearance.
