About admiralophtha
Ophthalmology ADaM support is migrating its derivations upstream into admiral core.
admiralophtha supplies ophthalmology-specific ADaM templates and vignettes — ADBCVA, ADOE, ADVFQ — on top of admiral. Releases arrive roughly twice a year and are dominated by template and vignette modernisation plus a long, deliberate deprecation of the package's own criterion-flag helper in favour of admiral::derive_vars_crit_flag(). The 1.5.0 release advances that deprecation to its warning phase and adds a template explorer.
