EPISODE 23:
~ 50,000 #Cornea#Transplant#surgeries are done in the USA annually. Watch #eye surgeons and patient cornea recipients representing the Eye Bank For Sight Restoration in New York City https://t.co/0qrEzAJYHF discuss the benefits of this amazing surgery & gift.
For over a week I’ve been sidelined by a serious cornea injury. My eye is still healing but recovering fast—huge thanks to Dr. Himani Goyal and @NYCHealthSystem! Our public hospitals provide critical care for many, and that’s why they deserve our full support! I’m so grateful 🙏🏾
Excited to participate as Faculty in this interactive workshop, where we will share how we approach and integrate new technology into practice–without it being disruptive! Head over to https://t.co/rzo7ASJUuY to register & join us! ✨

@n8radcliffe Can the sulcus be the primary location for glaucoma tubes always instead of the AC? I imagine that one of the difficulties is visualization... Thank you for saving the cornea 💛
@honestlybilal I love it! Start with 4 cardinal sutures: 12, 6, 3, and 9 o'clock. Then place a suture between each cardinal suture --> 8 sutures, then another between each suture again --> 16 total evenly apart! Needle enters tissue perpendicular and follow its curvature.💛
Part divide + conquer and part stop + chop, my technique begins with creating a groove down the middle of the #cataract that is the width of 1-2 #phaco tips. The nucleus is rotated 180º, the groove is extended, and the nucleus is cracked. @HimaniGoyalMD https://t.co/DixWqWFTKb
We're excited to partner with @dukeeyecenter on their 2nd Cornea Fellows Course & Wet Lab! 👁 Cornea fellows from across the US are invited to experience a dedicated program that will highlight techniques & concepts they need as they transition into their future careers. ⬇️
