Eye problems in primary care: vision loss, blurred vision, eye pain, diplopia & thyroid eye disease

More than 2 million people in the UK are living with sight loss, and this is expected to rise to 2. 7 million people by 2030. In this episode, we look at a selection of eye-related symptoms, including thyroid eye disease symptoms, vision loss, double and blurred vision, and eye pain, and considerations for primary care clinicians who may encounter patients with these symptoms.
After listening to this podcast, healthcare professionals should be better able to:
Recall the red flag symptoms for eye pain, vision loss, diplopia, and blurred vision
Think about when to refer patients presenting with eye-related symptoms
Learn about the presentation and epidemiology of thyroid eye disease
