Improving Diabetic Control and benefits for eye health!

Management of diabetic retinopathy is one of the most challenging aspects of retinal ophthalmology but it can also be one of the most rewarding. Uncontrolled diabetes relentlessly leads to severe vision loss, renal failure requiring dialysis and many other systemic consequences. Helping someone avoid this fate is immensely rewarding.

This requires not only careful management of the eye, but perhaps even more importantly, motivation to control their diabetes. We all know optimising our diet and exercise is not easy but uncontrolled diabetics need even more support with the same consistent message regarding this. . An important step is to encourage them to learn what HbA1c means and what their value is. Importantly, this gives them a goal and a target to aim for.

The increasing availability of Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) is a wonderful advance, allowing patients to monitor their blood glucose in real time and see instantly the effect eating certain foods has on their blood sugar. These are expensive, but like all technology is rapidly coming down in price and many young diabetics can qualify for free via the NDIS or NDSS. Many non-diabetic longevity physicians in the USA are wearing CGM's to minimise spikes in blood sugar throughout the day. There are even hopes that this technology will soon become available non-invasively through the Apple Watch so we will all be able to see the effects of a can of Coke or other unhealthy food choices on our blood sugar.

Professor Timothy Sullivan recently presented at the World Society of Oculoplastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (WSOPRAS) 2025 in Istanbul, Turkey.

He delivered a key presentation on medial endoscopic orbital decompression, and also participated as part of the expert task force unveiling the Istanbul Consensus Statement on Thyroid Eye Disease.

WSOPRAS meetings are supported by the major Oculoplastic Societies from around the world, including all pan-national Societies. The first meeting was attended by 464 delegates from 64 countries making it a truly global gathering.

The success of this meeting can be attributed to its innovative, interactive, educational, and hands-on scientific program format, showcasing the latest advancements by top faculty from across the globe. Including case-based discussions with experts, panel discussions, challenges, debates, and interactive forums to delve into topics.

The Australian and New Zealand Corneal Society’s annual conference was held from the 6th to the 7th of March while the Eye Bank Association of Australia and New Zealand was held on the 4th and 5th. As the current chair of ANZCS and acting medical director of the Queensland Eye Bank Dr Peter Beckingsale was closely involved as both an organiser and presenter for these meetings. The venue was Brisbane’s South Bank, and while the EBAANZ meeting was completed successfully, the ill-timed arrival of Cyclone Alfred forced the ANZCS conference to be held online instead of in person. Despite the last minute change of plans the meeting was hugely successful with over 100 attendees logging in to the meeting and Dr Sheraz Daya, current president of the American-European Congress of Ophthalmic Surgeons braving the weather and flying in to Brisbane to deliver the Coster lecture on the evolution of lamellar corneal surgery.

Other hot topics covered included the statistical genetics of keratoconus, glaucoma and Fuchs’ dystrophy, CAIRS surgery (Corneal Allogeneic Intrastromal Ring Segments) for keratoconus, corneal bioengineering and an update on the management of ocular surface cancers by Terrace Eye Centre’s Dr Lindsay McGrath. Dr Peter Beckingsale presented on the differences in the rate of corneal transplantation between states and a case of complex anterior segment reconstruction using a “Baseball pupiloplasty” for a patient with a fixed dilated pupil and severe light sensitivity.

Next year’s meeting will be held in Sydney, and we are looking forward to joining our corneal colleagues in person (and with better weather) then.

This May, Terrace Eye Centre joins the Macular Disease Foundation Australia in highlighting the importance of early detection and proactive eye health. With over 1.9 million Australians affected by macular disease, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular oedema, it's crucial to understand your risk and take steps to preserve your sight.

Are you at risk?
• Over 50 years old
• Family history of macular disease
• Smoker or ex-smoker
• Living with diabetes

If any of these apply to you, consider taking the Check My Macula quiz—a quick and easy way to assess your risk factors and learn about preventive measures - https://www.mdfoundation.com.au/check-my-macula/overview/

Why is this important?
Macular disease affects the central part of the retina, leading to vision loss that can impact daily activities like reading, driving, and recognising faces. Early detection through regular eye examinations can slow disease progression and maintain quality of life.

Take action today:
• Schedule a comprehensive eye exam with your optometrist
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle
• Stay informed about eye health

Your vision is invaluable. Let's work together to protect it.
