Ben and Andrew review toxocariasis and its gnarly lifecycle, why every ophthalmologist needs to know about it, treatment, and more.

 

We wish everyone about to take OKAPs the best of luck!

Ben and Amanda review VKH, including terminology, key findings, stages, and differential diagnoses.

Ben and Amanda do a rapid review of what to think about when encountering pseudostrabismus on oral boards or in the clinic.

 

This is part of our oral boards review series, which is designed for review in the style of oral boards, and may not be as in-depth as our regular episodes.

Welcome to our new miniseries, "Buddy Call", where we bring on a Buddy to discuss topics to prepare new residents or rotating medical students for ophthalmic call, and exam fundamentals. We kick things off with Dr. Paul Gaudio, Clinical Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at Yale, who will tell us his unique approach to not only look at the eye, but understand it, and how to approach the red eye. If I were just starting, this is an episode I'd listen to on repeat.

We think this will be helpful to review for trainees at all levels, but if you know early trainees who you think may benefit, it really helps us to spread the word.

You can follow us on Twitter/Instagram @Eyes4Ears.

Let's talk about lenticular glaucomas: Phacomorphic, Phacolytic, Lens Particle and Phacoantigenic!

Also we briefly announce in this episode our new "Buddy Call" series, where we'll talk about topics for the incoming residents to our field to help best prepare them for call! Keep your ears peeled for a bigger announcement soon!

 

We are super excited to have guest star Dr Jay Sridhar, assistant professor at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and host of the podcast Straight from the Cutter's Mouth: A Retina Podcast!

Welcome to Eyes for Ears, a medical education podcast for ophthalmology trainees by ophthalmology trainees. This week's episode, we start with some Retina fundamentals!

Today, we do a fast-paced review of pediatric exotropia for the oral boards or the clinic.

 

(Edit: But not THAT fast, if you downloaded a previous version of this episode that was playing at a higher speed, it has now been fixed!)

We review the rapid rundown of what to remember about pediatric esotropia for the oral boards or the clinic.

 

As a reminder, these oral board review episodes will not extensively review the topic, but rather review it at the pace we feel is helpful as a refresher.

Today we review five causes of peripheral corneal thinning we should all know, and how to differentiate between them.

Kellogg resident Dr Otana Jakpor takes us through a challenging case of transient monocular vision loss, and possibly exposes host Ben Young as a liar!

This week we run through a challenging pupil emergency with PGY4 resident Nikhil Bommakanti, and learn something new about anisocoria and the art of medicine.

 

We also mention a great, free and easy to use data visualizing app that Nikhil developed to get a better grasp of how your ACGME surgical case log is progressing:

Ben and Andrew review how oculocutaneous and ocular albinism affect the eye, genetics of these problems, and other systemic conditions that cause albinism.

We go through four common but tricky neuro-ophthalmology clinical scenarios with Dr. Jonathan Trobe, head of neuro-ophthalmology at the Kellogg Eye Center at the University of Michigan, who discusses his tips on how to succeed, and common traps he's seen throughout his career.

Amanda and Ben discuss their experience with studying for oral boards, and share their study tips and what they wish they had done differently. Please note that the advice and opinions expressed are our own, and do not in any way represent the ABO. Further, any case examples discussed in this episode are theoretical, and do not represent what Ben or Amanda experienced on their test days.

We review pigment dispersion syndrome, which can cause pigmentary glaucoma, one of the most common secondary open-angle glaucomas.

This week, find out what's so pseudo about pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, one of the most common causes of secondary open-angle glaucoma.

Learn what you need to know to prevent and prepare for medical malpractice lawsuits, and what it's like to be on the other side as an expert witness with Dr Jonathan Trobe, head of neuro-ophthalmology at the Kellogg Eye Center at the University of Michigan, as well as frequent expert witness in medico-legal cases.

For our 100th episode, we get Amanda, Andrew and Ben together to reflect on their residency and fellowship training to discuss what they thought was important and what they think is actually important in training and for their rank list.

These thoughts are our own, and do not reflect the opinions of any institution we have trained or worked at. Thank you to all of our supporters and listeners on the way to episode 100! 

 

Amanda Redfern did her residency at Yale, her neuro-ophthalmology fellowship at the Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah, and is now faculty doing both neuro-ophthalmology and comprehensive ophthalmology at the Casey Eye Institute at OHSU.

Andrew Pouw did his residency at Yale, his glaucoma fellowship at the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins University, and is now faculty at the University of Iowa.

This week, we explore a mystery case of missing vision presented by the excellent University of Michigan resident, Nikhil Bommakanti.   Also, if you're a medical retina, surgical retina, or pediatric ophthalmology fellow, we are very interested in your thoughts and attitudes towards retinopathy of prematurity. It would be a huge help if you take the brief survey below:   https://umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6tFZWIwIilSd54y   And here's a link to the paper referenced in the episode (warning: spoilers for the final diagnosis!): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3055391/

After a hiatus, we're back this week to talk about corneal grafts, starting with selection criteria. Learn what disqualifies a donor cornea from being a transplant candidate, the preservation times and transport media, and the basics of the Cornea Donor Study.

In this episode, we present four neuro-ophth cases to Dr. Jonathan Trobe, division head of Neuro-Ophthalmology at the Kellogg Eye Center, where he dissects them to find the seemingly small details that can get us and our patients into big trouble if missed. Join along in his case analysis, and see if you can find where mistakes were made so you can avoid them yourself!

 

Dr. Trobe went to Harvard Medical School, did his residency at Wills Eye, a neuro-ophth fellowship at Bascom Palmer, then a full neurology residency at the University of Miami. He's also served in the US Air Force, and is a tireless supporter of medical education, having won the teaching award at the University of Michigan countless times. 

Andrew and Ben simplify the nuances of how to prescribe glasses for children, and why you sometimes shouldn't just give the refraction you measured. There are relevant pearls for what they'll test you on in the boards, and practical tips for the clinic.
