Scope creep is affecting our patients in a lot of different ways. What we know, it doesn’t increase access, doesn’t decrease costs, and is not necessary. Please urge @GavinNewsom to veto this bill.

There are days at work that are hard. Battling for prior authorizations. Explaining to an insurance company why strabismus is a medical issue And then there are days when I get a text from a mom of a patient completely out of the blue #medtwitter #pediatrics #Ophthalmology

1. Consider stopping routine 6 month follow up for low risk ROP infants 2. Okay to skip patch testing for ET; does not alter surgical plan 3. We all need to do better to increase visibility of #pedsophtho to recruit and retain the next generation of pediatric ophthalmologists
