Posters used at the Birdshot Day
Below are links to posters that were used at the Birdshot Day. They were designed by Moorfields Eye hospital staff. We are very grateful to the staff for preparing these specially for the Birdshot Day.
The drugs ones summarise some of the side-effects and drug interactions that can be experienced so you can tell at a glance what side effects you might experience and what medicines and food should be avoided.
The Poster on ERG testing gives more information about the tests and explains what is involved using diagrams and photographs.
