A fantastic opportunity to be involved in an interactive Zoom talk with Miss Erika Damato, Consultant Medical Ophthalmologist
MBBS
Title:Thyroid eye disease
This FREE CPD talk is open to all Healthcare Professionals.
I have been a consultant medical ophthalmologist for eight years, working at Addenbrooke’s Hospital Cambridge for the past five years and additionally at Moorfields Eye Hospital for the past four years. Addenbrooke’s is recognised as a specialist centre for uveitis and I receive both local and regional referrals. Prior to this I worked as a consultant in uveitis and medical retina at the Birmingham and Midland eye centre in central Birmingham. I undertook specialist training at Bristol Eye hospital for six years, and also completed fellowships in ocular oncology, diabetic retinopathy and uveitis.
I am one of a small number of specialist medical ophthlamologists in the UK. My practice is centered on the management of patients with inflammatory eye disease, uveitis, thyroid eye disease and systemic disease and the eye. This includes patients with systemic inflammatory or autoimmune conditions with ocular manifestations, infections or malignancies with ocular involvement.
I am fully trained in the use of immunosuppression and biologic therapies for ocular inflammation and also have a specialist interest in thyroid eye disease and orbital inflammation. As well as specialised medical ophthalmology I also see patients with more general eye complaints.
