@MattElitt I agree with the thoughts on risk factor reduction, so I was also skeptical when I saw this headline. Is it possible that relative hypotension or reduced ocular perfusion could be at play?

Do preloaded corneal grafts reduce total surgical costs in #DMEK? How much more does a combined cataract surgery add to DMEK/DSAEK?

In our #TDABC analysis in @AAOjournal, we answer those questions and more. @UMKelloggEye

[David Portney @dsportney]

Very excited to share our new study in @JAMAOphth where we compared incremental cost to incremental reimbursement of #cataract surgery...Along with a great team (@sean_berkowitz @RaviParikhMD @vitreouscutter among others), of course!

And 100% of respondents felt that education about #PrivateEquity and ownership options was an important aspect of training.

Are you wondering how #PrivateEquity acquisitions of #ophthalmology (and other specialty) practices could impact you? We asked trainees their perspectives in our new paper (open access)

More specifically, here is the breakdown for how respondents felt #PrivateEquity would impact their future #ophthalmology practices. Perceptions were most negative for 1) physician autonomy, 2) long-term physician income, 3) quality of care, and 4) career advancement.

@AnnieWishna_MD @CherieEyeMD @MLB @RaviParikhMD @UMKelloggEye Most likely! But the sample was obtained through public sources - not through enrolling players - so we don’t have pre- or post-LASIK refraction.

[David Portney @dsportney]

Unfortunately presenting virtually, but excited to check out all of the great work at #ARVO2022!

Check out my poster on the impact of #LASIK on @MLB hitting performance.
