@kr156 @SpringerClinMed This is amazing!

I watched your lectures in order to pass optics on the boards!

@CornealPhys_Mag @ACRheum Thank you! He’s doing well on oral steroids. Conjunctival injection better and cornea is slowly healing. I set him up with rheumatology in case we needed to consider IV steroids or steroid sparing agents.

When a patient has a “spot on my iris”

- Take photo
- Take measurements
- Look for signs of malignancy (ie ectropion uvea, hyphema, glaucoma, thickness/size, feeder vessels, inferior iris location)
- Repeat in 4-6 months
