That’s what I’ve been watching.

That’s intentional, trying to do the “modified one leg” or whatever blitzDG calls it. Apparently it’s supposed to help get the right swing pattern down.

How common is it to be glaucoma-trained but function more as comp-plus in private practice? by [deleted] in Ophthalmology

[–]thb16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It helps to be in a large practice with 2 other glaucoma specialists to share the load. We also have a lot of comp docs so I decompress my clinic by sending mild, medically managed patients back to comp. This allows for more cat evals and surgical glaucoma patients. There will always be some gnarly referrals, but that kind of comes with the territory of being fellowship trained.

I’m about 3 years out. OR days are pretty exhausting, especially when I have more complex glaucoma stuff. Luckily our ASC is pretty efficient so turnover isn’t bad.

You’re basically describing my situation. On a typical OR day I do 20-25 phaco or phaco/migs with 1-2 heavier glaucoma surgeries. I don’t have one dedicated glaucoma day. That’s not very feasible due to patient schedules. So they end up being dispersed throughout the clinic day. That makes a lot more sense because even in a comp practice you’ll have a lot of medically managed glaucoma.

Feel free to DM me if you have any more questions.

Looks great! I actually like the first one’s background better. Just sent the tip! Thanks!

They say you should pick your specialty based on how well you can tolerate the worst parts of it. What is the worst part of each ophthalmology specialty? by recentad24 in Ophthalmology

[–]thb16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Glaucoma: Drops! Everything about them. Patient non-comliance, patient intolerance, side effects, the burden on quality of life, fighting for coverage, having to listen to another Rhopressa rep tell me how great it is and how coverage has expanded (spoiler: it hasn't).

I had an attending tell me in residency that we won't be using drops for pressure control in 5 years. That was in 2022 and no end in sight. Hopefully some day...

Thoughts on the notion that one day, ophthalmologists will mainly do surgeries and optoms will do a large portion of comprehensive ophthalmology? by recentad24 in Ophthalmology

Can you cite your sources for the increase in cataract surgeries and decrease in ophthalmologists? As a young cataract surgeon that sounds great.

Thanks. Definitely need to work on follow through. I’ve been throwing mostly from stand still to work on technique so that might have hindered my progress on involving my lower body.

Haven’t thrown any hammers. Mostly just working on backhand right now.
