In this EyePros Podcast episode, Ms Yasmine Abdalla, Consultant Ophthalmologist, joins Mr Ahmad Elsahn to discuss medical retina, uveitis, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and their links with wider health conditions. The episode explains how the retina processes visual information, how inflammation can affect the macula and other eye structures, and why conditions such as uveitis, glaucoma, genetic eye disease, and autoimmune illness can overlap. The discussion also covers OCTA imaging, rare ocular tumours, multidisciplinary care, symptoms of macular swelling, and treatments including anti-VEGF eye injections and steroid injections. Ms Abdalla also explains the difference between dry AMD and wet AMD, and how diabetes can damage retinal blood vessels and lead to serious complications. Watch the full episode to learn why complex retinal and inflammatory eye conditions often require detailed investigation, advanced imaging, and coordinated specialist care. 00:00–01:16 | Introduction to Medical Retina and Uveitis 02:15–02:40 | Rare Ocular Tumours and Clinical Vigilance 06:31–06:53 | Advanced Diagnostic Investigations and OCTA 07:03–08:24 | Uveitis as a Complex Diagnostic Puzzle 08:45–09:58 | When Eye Symptoms Reveal Systemic Disease 10:39–11:11 | Diabetes, Retinal Damage, and Glaucoma 11:27–12:30 | Macular Swelling and Eye Injection Treatment 12:30–12:53 | Patient Confidence After Eye Injections 14:04–14:40 | Understanding Dry and Wet AMD 15:34–15:40 | How Wet AMD Develops 16:21–16:33 | Wet AMD and Diabetic Eye Disease 18:37–20:59 | Professional Leadership and a Diverse Clinical Career 21:18–23:10 | Research into a Novel Clinical Presentation 📞 0333 77 272 77 🌐 www.eyepros.co.uk #EyePros #AgeRelatedMacularDegeneration #Uveitis #retina #MacularDisease #RetinaCare
