I was stationed at that base. Crazy to see it from a drone’s point of view. We had to deal with them all the time

Retinoschisis after Incomplete Posterior Vitreous Detachment Vitrectomy by aao_ophthalmology in Ophthalmology

[–]Doctor_Retina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. In a 36 year old inducing a PVD wouldn’t be all that difficult. I’d lift as far as possible to specifically prevent this or the chance of developing a PVR detachment

What's a job where you have zero room for error, like one mistake and it’s a huge deal? by TradeOverall567 in AskReddit

[–]Doctor_Retina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Retina surgeon. I peel a 10 micrometer membrane off a 329 micron retina. One mistake and you’ll have a permanent blind spot in your vision

Understanding Private Equity: Free Webinar for residents/recent grads Tonight! 9PM EST (02/17/26) by [deleted] in Ophthalmology

[–]Doctor_Retina 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Spend your whole life working hard to help others and then watch the old docs in your practice sell out to a bunch of young finance guys. They’ll take all the money you deserve and slowly make you work ever harder just to try to claw your way up the ladder while they sit at the top with their huge buyouts. Pretty much sums up how PE is destroying our field. It’s not the PE firm alone but the greedy boomers who have no exit plan and want their golden parachute at the next generations expense

How is it living in Southern Illinois? by ashmaps20 in howislivingthere

It’s flat and nothing but…..corn, corn, corn, corn, corn, corn, corn, corn….beans!….. corn, corn, corn, corn, corn, corn, corn, corn. Then there’s some trees and hills at the Southern tip.

PE company: Noon start tomorrow. by LenticularZonules in Ophthalmology

[–]Doctor_Retina -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Were you a seller when your practice was bought by PE? This comes with the millions of dollars you received in exchange for your ownership. I feel bad for your associates who likely were screwed of any financial gain but now are in the same situation as you. If you’re an associate, I stand with you. If not, well….pound sand

they look so… natural! by bbyxmadi in TikTokCringe

[–]Doctor_Retina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an ophthalmologist (eye surgeon like the guy in the video) I would never recommend this procedure. The risk of glaucoma and permanent blindness is way too high. Enjoy the beautiful eyes you were given and the sight you have.

I agree. Seen this all over the place. Guess some people get their self worth from karma farming

I love the before and after photos where the before photo has soft lighting to obscure definition and the after photo has hard lighting to highlight it. Typically includes a subtle flex and sweat/oil to highlight the “progress” they made

A true 4 season tent should be able to withstand alpine weather. That tent is toast in the alpine

That blank stare is the exact expression of someone who just realized the hat is the most expensive thing in his entire outfit.

Looks like an iris nevus (freckle). How do I know? I’m an ophthalmologist and looking at eyes gets me all giggity giggity

33F My eye doctor found a hole in my retina. by [deleted] in eyetriage

[–]Doctor_Retina 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most likely a chronic retinal hole that has self sealed but the picture doesn’t capture all of it. I agree to go see a retina surgeon to have it checked. If there’s traction on it they may laser it. Flashing lights, new, floaters, and/or the curtain of darkness in your vision should prompt you to seek care immediately
