The prosecution has begun to outline its case at Ipswich Crown Court, in the sentencing hearing of optometrist Honey Rose.
We'll keep you informed of developments from court three as they happen.
The Association of Optometrists, external (AOP) issued a statement in July, after Honey Rose was convicted at Ipswich Crown Court of gross negligence manslaughter.
It said the case, a criminal one involving an optometrist on clinical matters, was "the first of its kind in the UK".

"We are naturally extremely disappointed for our member, Ms Rose, in the outcome of the case."
After the trial in July where Honey Rose was found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter, the family of Vinnie Barker issued a statement.
Image source, Barker FamilyThey said: "The outcome of this case does not change our life sentence; we will never be able to fully accept that our special little boy is never coming home.
"The decision of a jury or judge cannot bring Vinnie back or undo the devastation of his death.
"A guilty verdict would never make us winners, our loss is simply too great."
Honey Rose had told Ipswich Crown Court during her trial in July, that she conducted all the required tests during Vinnie Barker's eye examination at the Ipswich branch of Boots on 15 February 2012.
But the prosecution claimed her conduct had been so far below the expected standard it was "criminal".
During the trial the jury heard there were "obvious abnormalities" in both of Vinnie's eyes visible during the examination.
Photographs taken by another staff member of the back of his eyes shortly before he was examined by Rose suggested he had bilateral papilloedema - a condition in which optic discs at the back of each eye become swollen because of raised pressure within the skull.
Rose had claimed her examination of Vinnie was tricky because he had closed his eyes to the light and looked away during the test.
An optometrist who failed to spot an eye condition in a boy who later died has arrived in court to be sentenced for gross negligence manslaughter.
Honey Rose, 35, from Newham, East London, was found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter in July, following the death of Vinnie Barker, 8, in 2012.
We'll bring you the details of the sentence when we get them.
