- Follow me along for a day in the life on the retina rotation as an ophthalmology resident. Hi my name is Zac, I'm an ophthalmology resident on the retina rotation as a 3rd year resident. Follow me along to watch a day in the life on the retina rotation- one of my favorite subspecialties in ophthalmology. If you're interested in ophthalmology or retina then check this video out. Today I do lasers for the eye including PRP and assisting with some retinal surgeries. Also working on developing a surgical instrument.
the best part is when you explain the workflow you use in the cases you treat!
Thanks! :)
The doctor that I work with is retina/uveitis and he sees 60 pts a day in clinic 🤪 Love watching these videos!
You should make a video describing common eye surgeries
That’s a good idea!
as always, Love ur videos Dr. Eyeballs. Please do more videos like this, I dont care if it seems repetitive. I just get really excited to see someone that is going through what I hope to become one day. keep it up :)
I’m glad you find it helpful. I plan to keep doing vlog style videos :)
Love seeing what you do in a day and your passion for what you are doing. I know your patients love you 💕
Thanks. I’m glad :)
Great video Zac, looking forward to the podcast! Should be really interesting!
Can you make a video about your first surgery (with attending supervision and/or completely by yourself) - the case, nerves and emotions etc, and whatever else you'd like to share? I think that would super interesting for med students who are nervous about picking a surgical specialty and anyone else interested! Thanks so much man, awesome content as always!
I agree would watch that content
It's a great idea. I do have one of my first surgical videos and it is actually posted on cataract coaches youtube page where he reveiws it. But yes I think i'll likely make a video going over that. Cheers.
Thank you Zac, I really enjoy your videos, they are really eye-opening for a medical student who wants to choose ophthalmology for residency.
Of course. I’m glad it helps:)
I'm sooooo happy right now 😃😃😃😃😃😃🤩
This video just pop up in my youtube playlist. Great video doc ✌️
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
I previously worked with MedOne Surgical on a ophthalmology tool, they’re a good team!
I’ll check them out. Thanks for the info 👍🏼
I have a question, Dr. Eyeball, about blob and interblob cells. Since the blobs process color and color discrimination, I can tell a yellow banana from a red apple?
Since some interblobs have a preference for movement in a certain direction, and since some have a preference for location, while other interblobs don’t, it would mean seeing someone jump up and down, or wave to a friend, or point to a dog across the street -all these movements are detected by different interblob cells in V1.
Thank you
Do you think its socially acceptable for an opthalmic surgeon to wear glasses yet perfom eye surgeries on patients or will they be questioned every single day at work as to why they wear glasses and avoid any kind of surgery to cure their own sight defect? I wear glasses but I'm considering specializing in this field. I have some underlying fears
That happens with diabetics in the UK too. They just miss appointment after appointment and then turn up blind, one day, in one eye to their optician or doctor and behave like it’s our fault.
Hi Dr Zach! What precautions are you guys taking for conducting surgeries during the covid pandemic! Some tips would really help with running our ophthal practice more safely! From India!
when do we get to meet Mrs. Eyeball?
Haha:) she wishes to not be featured lol
great video! :)
Thanks
Hi Dr.Eyeball! Can you give us some tips on studying for OKAPs? How much time should we put aside for it? Do you know of any ophthalmology video lectures or online courses?
Thanks a lot, your videos are very very interesting and helpful :)
I'm not the best person to ask about studying for OKAPs. My personal take is that they are great at preparing you for boards but their usefulness to clinical practice is lacking. I think it's a somewhat poor test of clinical reasoning skills and a poor measure of knowledge of useful / usable information. That said they are important for preparing you for boards- most people I know start preparing around November for them, but it's never too early to just do the q banks from the beginning of the year.
believe it or not you are my role model
Much love ❤️
hi doctor
i got someting whit in may eye cover may vision i donknow what to do
👏👏👏❤
Hello Dr.eyeball , as you are an ophthalmologist why don't you undergone LASIK instead of spectacles , as I am a junior resident in ophthal with glasses too ,jst need to know what made you to stick with glasses ? That may help us
that's a fair question. i've worn them my whole life so am used to them. and although lasik is exceedingly safe and successful the infinitely small chance of something going wrong could jeopardize my career and so I haven't done it. also i'm a high myope and would potentially need touch up or still need CTLs, plus i don't mind wearing glasses.
Doctor I want to ask about how many publications do an img needs to match into ophthalmology
there's no set number of publications that will get you into ophthalmology for IMG or US grads. That said it is more competitive for IMGs to match and so the more research and publications you have the more competitive you'll be. I personally had one publication in JAMA ophtho prior to applying, for what that's worth. Hope that helps :)
Does retinal laser always causes macular pucker or epiretinal membrane formation ?
Hi, no it doesn’t :)
@@doctoreyeballmd7493 good to know, I have had the laser exactly a month now. My doc says only time will tell and I hope it never develops 🤕
How many hour of sleep do you get on na average day, considering you wake up so early?
I can sleep as much as I want really. But typically 6 hours or so.
Does your hometown or state of Texas. Have wear mask mandatory?
Yah we’re required to wear masks.
Man U gotta fix that windscreen!! haha
Haha. You’re right
