Fun few days with virtual participation in international conferences. Panophthalmologica in India and Advanced Vitreous Surgery course in Japan. Great meetings! Wish I were there in person, but Zoom does connect us closer with our international colleagues. #Ophthalmology

Eye doctors: How do you read ICGs? Do you say "cyanescence," like most? There is actually no such thing as cyanescence! It's all fluorescence. We should be saying "hyper/hypo-fluorescence." Check out our paper detailing why: journals.healio.com/doi/full/10.39… #Ophthalmology Wills Eye Hospital

It was an honor for us at Wills Eye Hospital to host Masayo Takahashi earlier this month. Dr. Takahashi from Vision Care / Kobe Eye Center is a leading authority on iPS cell therapy of retinal diseases, and is shaping the future of regenerative medicine. Check out her work! #Ophthalmology

Retinal detachment is fixed. Or is it? Here's our new paper, led by Taku Wakabayashi, showing that delayed recurrent RD can still occur in 1.4% after being attached for over a year. More common after pneumatics. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40359469/ #Ophthalmology #Retina Wills Eye Hospital
