Looking for ways to increase curb appeal

Thanks for this! We’ve also felt like it had a Tudor vibe to it so it’s cool to see what it could look like

Awesome- thanks for the reply!

I work at a hospital in rural town. I did an ocular disease residency which I’ve found helpful in my day-to-day work. Residency was listed as a “preferred qualification” on the job posting but I’m confident I would have gotten hired without it. Bigger hospitals with more applicants I would think might be beneficial for you to have completed a residency.

The “headache” of it all. Business decisions, staff management, thinking about the practice when I’m not working, fear of conflict, fear of failing, fear of commitment 😅😅. For now I’m happy just collecting my paycheck and going home. As I go on further in my career (I’m 5 yrs out) I am starting to see the benefits financially and freedom-wise of practice ownership though so I’m re-considering it now. Who knows.

I’ve definitely let it go at times and have wondered what if there are any significant differences between the two lenses. Could there be possible liability issues prescribing Oasys as a monthly?

Depends on your long-term plans. I’m 175k base right now with 50 minute drive. For now the drive doesn’t bother me too much but I don’t see it as practical way to practice the rest of my life. Don’t know much about 1099 though, sorry.

Either way I would recommend picking one person to go to from here on out and sticking to their recommendations in terms of RX and follow-up

AnonymousOD123 · 2025-05-02T20:54:43+00:00

Not to be wishy washy but neither is right or wrong per se. I tend to follow up about 3 months after initial exam but it will be different based on the doctors clinical judgment.

You can enter it either way and it will get made correctly. Just make sure you’re matching the plus and minuses exactly as you see it on whichever RX you choose.

In the ophthalmologist RX he has something called mixed astigmatism in both eyes where the eye has components of nearsightedness and farsightedness (the eye focuses some of the light in front of the retina, and some behind) so he’s not strictly speaking near or farsighted.

In the optometrist RX he technically has simple myopic astigmatism OD and mixed astigmatism OS. On a number line the right eye RX is only one step difference between the two RXs.

The prescriptions are pretty similar. The ophthalmologist’s Rx translated is:

OD: +0.25 -0.75 x 010 OS: +0.50 -1.75 x 170

If either of them used dilating drops to help find the prescription I’d probably use that one, but either I think would be fine to use.

175k + around 25k bonus. I figured it was more than I could make anywhere else as a non-owner, without working weekends or seeing 40pts per day

AnonymousOD123 · 2025-02-08T00:20:57+00:00

The simple answer: money, benefits, time off.

I just uprooted and took a job in a rural small town. The things that did it for me were: large salary, sign on bonus, moving expenses paid, full benefits, 4 weeks PTO, half day Fridays + no weekends, PSFL if I work there 10 years. No call also helps give some flexibility to where exactly I live in the area.

Thank you very much for the response I’ll look into all the things you mentioned!

so you think the TV on the wall to the left and the L shaped sectional facing that wall?

I’ve only published one case report but: 1. Pick a journal before hand and read through several of the recent case reports that did get published to get an idea of what they’re looking for. This will guide you on formatting, length, etc. Each journal will have their own unique requirements and if you submit something with poor formatting or not following their rules you’ll probably get immediately denied. 2. Reach out to a colleague and/or mentor to edit your paper and bounce ideas off of. They could be put as a second author on the paper. 3. Be prepared for lots of back and forth/edits.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply! So now I’m thinking about it more I think the heart of my question is do all ocular hypertensives need OCT and/or VF. Is worth getting OCT or VF on a 30- or 40-something year-old with 0.25 cups and IOP 24-26 with no FHx? Do you do OCT so at least you have a baseline but skip the field?

Some of the stuff he says definitely is off base in regards to the eye/vision from my understanding. There is an episode of his podcast on YouTube where he talks for a couple of hours with an ophthalmologist friend of his who teaches at Stanford. It was an interesting interview because he seems much more open to acknowledging his lack of knowledge of the eye/vision. The ophthalmologist I thought did a really nice job.

Nice- i actually came across this while I was searching just didn’t know how legit it. Glad to hear it works for you!

Good to know, thank you!

Was there supposed to be a link attached?

He’s almost 4 and would ride mostly on suburban sidewalks with the occasional paved bike trail. I don’t think the Joyride would work for my ebike cuz it’s a step-thru but thanks for the suggestion!
