Last week, we welcomed delegates to our ‘Improving Outcomes’ Biometry Course in Glasgow, which focussed on how biometry measurements can be used to guide clinical decision making.

Led by specialist speaker Mr Peter Wilson Consultant Ophthalmologist at NHS Fife and Forth Valley, the course combined expert insight with hands-on workshops. Delegates explored evidence-based approaches to formula selection, planning for complex cataract cases, and practical problem-solving with biometry when outcomes are not as predicted.

📢 We are supporting Anti-Slavery Week 2026.

This year’s campaign is focussed on highlighting the signs of potential exploitation and seeing every worker, from those who work on the frontline to those supporting operations behind the scenes.

At Haag-Streit UK, we have a comprehensive Modern Slavery Statement which we share on our website: https://hs-uk.co/ModernSlavery

We have taken rigorous steps throughout our organisation and our supply chain to help create a world where all workers are free from slavery and forced labour. We have robust procedures that contribute to ensuring modern slavery does not occur in our business or supply chains, and we expect organisations with whom we do business to adopt and enforce similar policies.

A routine eye examination can reveal more than a change in vision.

As part of , Glaucoma UK is reminding those turning 60 this year that they are entitled to a free NHS sight test 👉 https://www.aop.org.uk/ot/news/2026/09/23/glaucoma-uk-reminds-over-60s-of-nhs-entitlement

For eye care professionals, this is an important opportunity to encourage patients to attend regularly. Early detection can be critical in conditions such as glaucoma, which may progress without noticeable symptoms.

What approaches have you found effective in encouraging patients to prioritise regular eye examinations?
