Attended my first #ophthalmology discussion on the new @joinClubhouse platform. I like it! In good company with thomas oetting, Daniel Terveen, Brian Shafer, MD, & Vance Thompson!

#COVID19 can cause a hypercoagulable state that may lead to #retina vascular occlusion. Important to screen for #COVID in patients who present with new vascular occlusions as they may be a presenting feature of the disease. aao.org/editors-choice…

So glad to see this study by CDC! Anecdotal reports and misinformation have caused a great deal of confusion regarding #COVID19. It is important that we continue to make *evidence-based* recommendations as we do for the other aspects of our medical practices! #MasksSaveLives

Wow, these 3D-UBM images are incredible!

Cool iridodialysis repair technique. I like it!

Scheimpflug topography features useful to predict #cornea edema resolution after #DMEK in patients with #Fuchsdystrophy: 1) nonparallel isopachs, 2) focal posterior depression, 3) anterior/posterior backscatter, & 4) CCT ja.ma/32DCJKW via JAMA Ophthalmology part of JAMA Network

Mask-wearing #iPhone users rejoice! As long as you are connected to your Apple Watch, the new #iOS 14.5 update allows you to unlock your phone using Face ID even when you are wearing a mask. Great news for those of us who spend long days masked! google.com/amp/s/www.macr…

Cohort study shows increase in #dryeye signs and symptoms following #COVID19. I've been noticing this association in my clinic as well. Anyone else? journals.lww.com/corneajrnl/Abs…

Some of us use jeweler's forceps every day to remove things from eyeballs. But you're missing out if you haven't yet bought a cheap pair to remove slivers from your children's feet! #ophtholife #doctorparent amzn.to/2Ur6Ogd

Check out this IOL punch device as an alternative to lassoing haptics. I’d love to try this! aao.org/clinical-video…

Cool technique for #cornea tatooing using femtosecond laser Intacs channels. Great long-term outcomes. journals.lww.com/corneajrnl/Abs…

Double-masked RCT did not demonstrate benefit from use of hyperosmolar drops for Fuchs dystrophy. Will this change your practice? #Cornea aaojournal.org/article/S0161-…

FDA approves varenicline solution (#Tyrvaya) as first nasal spray for #dryeye medscape.com/viewarticle/96… via Medscape

Multifocal and EDOF IOLs deliver excellent uncorrected vision at a range of distances. However, they come with a trade-off of increased patient-reported symptoms and decreased contrast sensitivity. Preop counseling and patient selection are very important! aaojournal.org/article/S0161-…

Most Salzmann nodule excisions are associated with a myopic shift. Typical shift around 1 D, though corneas with flatter preop keratometry may shift more. Helpful when counseling patients on refractive expectations before nodulectomy. #cornea JCRS journals.lww.com/jcrs/Abstract/…

Do you know the difference between Salzmann nodular degeneration and peripheral hypertrophic subepithelial corneal degeneration? #cornea pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34620763/

#Vivity non-diffractive #EDOF IOL provides superior intermediate and near vision with similar visual disturbance profile compared to monofocal IOL. Excellent IOL option for patients desiring distance and mid-range focus without significant glare symptoms. journals.lww.com/jcrs/Fulltext/…

Dead Bag Syndrome is an underrecognized cause of IOL subluxation. I often see this as a mobile IOL bouncing around in a pristinely clear capsular bag, or spontaneously blow-out the posterior capsule long after #cataract surgery. journals.lww.com/jcrs/Abstract/…

Removal of Soemmering ring material during complex IOL procedures can be frustrating. Check out this nice technique for removal using an IOL cartridge and pars plana irrigation: RELIEF Technique disq.us/t/49yialz via AAO
