Educational, not personal medical advice
All content on this website — text, illustrations, animations and videos — is general educational information about retinal, uveal and paediatric eye conditions. It is not a diagnosis, not a treatment plan, and not a substitute for examination by a qualified ophthalmologist.
No guarantees
Individual outcomes and recovery vary. Nothing on this site guarantees vision improvement, painless treatment, or prevention of complications. Treatment suitability depends on examination, imaging and clinical judgement.
Medications
Never start, stop or change any medication — including eye drops — based on website content. Steroid eye drops in particular must never be used without a prescription.
Emergencies
For sudden vision loss, a curtain/shadow, or a shower of floaters, seek urgent eye assessment immediately — do not wait for a website reply. If you are experiencing sudden vision loss, severe pain, or trauma, contact an appropriate eye emergency service immediately rather than using this website.
