Little jars? The implantable collamer lenses (ICLs) that are implanted for correction of high myopia come in little glass containers. These came from the very first set of toric ICLs I placed. #ophthalmology #iclsurgery #visianicl #lasik #visioncorrection #giftofsight #eyes

Save our vision. Don't forget eye protection!

PSA: I hope that everyone is staying safe out there! There are many states that have mandated shelter-in-place for its residents. Furthermore, many medical specialties have mandated its members to cease from routine care, both in the office and in the operating rooms. This allows us to reserve our resources where it countsin the emergency rooms and ICU’s. Many of my colleagues on the front lines are short of PPEs and having to reuse their masks and faceshields! We all ne...ed to do our part. This means no routine diabetic exams, and certainly no emergent refractions! We are aware that all businesses are struggling at the point, and the financial hurting may only just be the beginning. In the end, we need a healthy society in order to flourish. Thank you for your contribution to stop the spread of disease by social distancing! Special thanks to my classmates, friends, and colleagues in the front lines caring for the ill. Stay healthy! #covid_19 #covd19 #coronavirus #socialdistancing #medicine #healthcareworkers

PSA: Wash your hands thoroughly to help reduce spread of disease (This includes COVID-19, influenza, and other viruses). This means: - Wetting your hands under running water. - Lather your hands with soap. ... - Scrub those fingers, nails, and crevices! Twenty seconds is the recommended duration. Sing your favorite tune. How about Happy Birthday twice? - Rinse under running water thoroughly. - Dry your hands with a cloth or towel. - Turn off faucet with used towel. Thank you for your contribution to stop the spread of disease! Special thanks to my classmates, friends, and colleagues in the front lines caring for the ill. Stay healthy! #coronaviruspandemic #covid_19 #health #influenzavirus #goteam #covid19usa #covd19
