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_ophth
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/Abstra…
#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/Fullte…
Do you know the difference between Salzmann nodular degeneration and peripheral hypertrophic subepithelial corneal degeneration? #cornea pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3462…
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 @jcrsjournal journals.lww.com/jcrs/Abstra…
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…
FDA approves varenicline solution (#Tyrvaya) as first nasal spray for #dryeye medscape.com/viewarticle/961… via @medscape
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…
Cool technique for #cornea tatooing using femtosecond laser Intacs channels. Great long-term outcomes. journals.lww.com/corneajrnl/…
Check out this IOL punch device as an alternative to lassoing haptics. I’d love to try this! aao.org/clinical-video/novel…
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
Cool flanged Prolene suture technique for iridodialysis repair aao.org/1-minute-video/irido… via @aao_ophth
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/…
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.macrumo…
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 @JAMAOphth part of @JAMANetwork
Cool iridodialysis repair technique. I like it!

Wow, these 3D-UBM images are incredible!
A new article in @ARVOtvst demonstrates 3D-#ultrasound #biomicroscopy provides informative 3D #imaging of tissues in the eye that are invisible to light to potentially provide physicians with improved diagnosis and treatment planning.

So glad to see this study by @CDCgov! 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
New CDC study shows mask mandates associated with reduced coronavirus transmission. Reopening restaurant dining not followed by significant increase in first 40; however, after 40 days, increases seen in cases (1%) and deaths (2-3%) from COVID19. buff.ly/3v4UeRE
#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/visio…
Attended my first #ophthalmology discussion on the new @joinClubhouse platform. I like it! In good company with @cataractsurgery, @daniel_terveen, @Shafer_EyeMD, & @DrVanceThompson!
