Abstract: This section presents news briefs on ophthalmology in Great Britain as of April 2006. The project manager for the General Ophthalmic Services review in England will speak to the Optometric Advisers Group next month. Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for the General Optical Council said optometrists and dispensing opticians can only prescribe lenses for the use or wear period they have been licensed for. Furthermore, a new paper claims that fish oil may help protect against retinal degenerative diseases.
