Description: The Medical Practitioners Tribunal has found Bobby Qureshi put his own financial interests above the interests of his visually impaired patients. Qureshi was medical director at the London Eye Hospital, now under different management, implanting a new type of lens to patients who have macular degeneration. The tribunal found patients did not receive enough information on the risks prior to having the procedure. Cathy Yelf CEO of the Macular Society which gave evidence to the tribunal from 20 cases, gives her reaction to the tribunal’s verdict, and what it means in the uncharted territory of treatments for macular degeneration. Chris Albert is a member of the very successful Blind Sailing team which has come away from a regatta in Canada with the World Championship trophy. He describes why Blind Sailing gives him some of the freedom back that he lost when he lost his sight. Presenter: Peter White Producer: lee Kumutat
