Anagha Lokhande et al. investigate The Impact of Myopia on Regional Visual Field Loss and Progression in Glaucoma, tvst.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?a…. @eye_lokhande @MengyuLearner @HarvardOphAI @MassEyeAndEar @IcahnMountSinai @BascomPalmerEye @Wills_Eye

🚨 New in @JAMA_current What happens when the "firewall" between health and law enforcement is broken? In this Viewpoint, we discuss how @CMSGov's unprecedented decision to share #Medicaid data for #immigration enforcement risks fracturing patient trust + exacerbating burnout

What are possible solutions? A quick summary of the literature on access to surgical care: 1) Tele-health for pre- and post-operative visits 2) Travel vouchers or transportation assistance 3) Pipeline programs to increase # of rural surgeons 4) Knowledge sharing programs 3/3

Gaucoma drainage devices (indicated for advanced cases) are the type that most frequently require longer travel lengths All types of glaucoma surgery (except for iStent/Hydrus, the most common type) are significantly more likely to be performed in urban areas 2/3

Our IRIS Registry study (now in @aaojournal) characterizes the geographic distribution of #glaucoma surgery in the US, finding that the vast majority of surgeries are done in urban areas Thanks to @DrZebardast for her incredible mentorship! And to @HMSeye & @HarvardOphAI! 1/3

Last, we have Aiden Meyer, presenting on an ophthalmology elective course we designed and implemented @BrownMedicine! Thank you to @mmigliori & @GraysonWilkes for their incredible mentorship! iovs.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?a…

Pragya Kumar identified demographic predictors of severe visual impairment (SVI) and blindness Many thanks to my longtime mentor @MengyuLearner @HMSeye @HarvardOphAI for supporting this project! iovs.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?a…

This year @ARVOinfo I had the privilege of mentoring junior medical students on their very first #research projects! Love being at a career stage when I can both learn from incredible mentors & pass on knowledge (#academicmedicine) Check out their incredible work!

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

1/Just because the finding is obvious doesn’t mean the case is easy! Here’s a thread about an interesting case that takes no time to make the finding, but a lot of time to get the diagnosis!

The best doctors, the ones I modeled myself after in training, knew the guidelines, but also knew the individual studies that the guidelines were based on.

For those who matched, just a reminder to NOT use your personal address or phone number when registering for your NPI number. That info is public domain, use your residency program's office info.

@saberkazemi1992 @BrownMedicine @NYEEResidency Thank you so much Saber!! :)

@eye_lokhande @BrownMedicine @NYEEResidency Congratulations, Anagha🎏 Keep up the great work!

Graduated from medical school @BrownMedicine! Excited to start clinical training in ophthalmology—a dream come true! 👁️ And continue pursuing ever better patient outcomes through data science and AI in New York @NYEEResidency 💫

We are proud to stand with 100+ institutions, professional societies, and patient groups in supporting the @NatEyeInstitute! Together, we’re showing that vision research is not optional. It’s essential. 🔗 Read the letter and see who joined us: bit.ly/4kE5k8P
