Fantastic article by @sarahm_matthews combining my interests in bookshops and visual impairment. Key points: even Braille/speech users still shop in bookshops; online isn’t everything. thepublishingpost.com/post/exploring…

Good to read this year’s Royal Institution #XmasLectures speaker (and sometime fellow ballet school dad) Chis Jackson on the importance of alt text tags.

How incredible is this 😍 Received this amazing surprise today... it’s an embroided tactile version of our 12 week baby scan, so for the first time as a blind dad to be, I’m able to build a picture of our baby scan through touch ❤️ Can’t describe how amazing this is 😍

Very pleased to be teaching the Visual Impairment lectures on this innovative course Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology. I’ve had a sneak preview of the programme and it looks great.

How do you estimate visual acuity during a telephone consultation? Our new JAMA Ophthalmology paper describes one method (with Peter Thomas, Thomas Wemyss, TessaMarlijnDekker at UCL, and Matteo Lisi at Essex.) jamanetwork.com/journals/jamao…

Thanks Swan!

Can remote low vision assessments work? Audit of 500 telephone low vision consultations @moorfields now published: the second of my 'lockdown papers'! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Very happy to have signed the RNIB petition to ensure all railway stations have tactile platform marking, after some horrific accidents: rnib.in/RNIBpetitionTW…

I think this would be a great PhD project for someone - funded by Macular Society, supervised by Kez Latham and Jane Macnaughton at Anglia, and me at UCL/Moorfields.

This is a great opportunity to join a brilliant team at UCL and Moorfields

This is very valuable - a huge survey of international low vision services supported by the International Society of Low Vision Research and Rehabilitation - please consider completing it! cityunilondon.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eb…

While trying to wade through my timeline on a rare revisit to Twitter, I found this... I think this is huge.

(Should have made clear that this survey is for low vision practitioners)
