Noemi Lois

Noemi Lois, a Professor of Ophthalmology at Queen's University Belfast, dives into her groundbreaking study on retinal sensitivity and perfusion in diabetic retinopathy. She discusses how retinal sensitivity is mapped using advanced perimetry techniques. Lois highlights the importance of focusing on functional outcomes and the correlation between ischemic and perfused areas. Over time, sensitivity in non-perfused zones showed modest declines, while some perfused areas retained normal sensitivity, raising hope for early interventions.
