Curious to see what people's thoughts on Syfovre and Izervay are. Is anyone treating their patients with either? Disclosure - I'm not a physician.

Hi does anyone here became a successful ophthalmologist but with stereopsis issues? I am currently an ophtha resident but I just knew that I have stereopsis issues when I got into the program.

My co resident and I studied very hard-we got through all of BCSC once in PGY2, again PGY3, did ophthoquestions and also another Q bank yet scored poorly on OKAPS. How much does it matter for the future? Appreciate honest responses. Also responses from thos ..read more

Is anyone billing for directing RN mod sed during cataracts? Does Medicare pay for this? Do they decrease reimbursement for the procedure if you also bill sedation like they do for some GI cases? I’m the medical director of a growing ASC and we’re having trouble getting anesthesia coverage for all our cataracts. Thanks. submitted by /u/Scarftheverb [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
