If you have vision problems and are in #Canada, Fighting Blindness Canada is having a series of in-person Coffee Connections across the country. Each will have an eye doctor who will lead discussions and answer questions about age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or an inherited retinal disease (IRD). It also gives you a chance to meet others with the same eye conditions.
Here are details so you can see if there is one coming up in your area.#health #medical #vision #ophthalmology #medmastodon

Argh, I have a bunch of languishing projects I'm eager to spend some back-to-back hours on, but I have to go sit in an ophthalmology waiting room for the afternoon.
On a related note - there are letters in "ophthalmology" that I never noticed were there before. Unlikely I'd nail it in a #scrabble game.

Researchers have identified distinct biological and molecular features linked to a severe form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) characterized by unusual retinal deposits. This discovery indicates that AMD comprises a group of biologically distinct conditions rather than a single, uniform disease.

Ocular coloboma is a congenital eye defect that occurs when the optic fissure fails to close properly during early development. Recent research utilizing lab-grown, miniature human retinas—known as retinal organoids—has identified how mutations in a specific growth-controlling protein contribute to this condition.

Last time, thanks to your support, Haneen was able to buy new shoes for her youngest daughter, Aylan.
Remember?
https://mastodon.social/@naeemafamily/115553743036434601Now the family needs help to get an appointment for Elias so he can have new glasses. It's been 2 years without consulting a doctor!
Please help if you can 💜

Things that don't exist anymore: general ophthalmologists in physician-owned private practices.
Every Seattle oph works for a hospital or insurer network like Swedish, Optum/Polyclinic, or Kaiser, or works for a practice owned by a private equity roll-up.
Two large local practices, Eye Associates Northwest (EANW.net) and Evergreen Eye Center (evergreeneye.com), were acquired by the same PE roll-up "Comprehensive EyeCare Partners": https://comp-eyecare.com/partners/

A lady came in yesterday for a LASIK evaluation. Getting dilated is part of this evaluation. Getting dilated is also part of a normal yearly exam, however patients sometimes refuse it. Anyway, she had been seen one month prior by our optometrist and was then referred to us for the LASIK eval. She is 48 and she can’t have LASIK….because she has the beginnings of cataracts, which would have been seen a month ago had she not refused dilation. It turns out, after some investigating, she hadn’t been dilated since 2020. Ridiculous.
Y’all get dilated. So what if it’s an inconvenience to your day, it’s the best way to see the health of the back of the eye. If you go somewhere that doesn’t dilate, find somewhere that does. People complain about so much…I hate drops in my eye, the dilation lasts too long, etc. STFU. NO ONE likes drops put in their eye, so be an adult and deal with it. #ophthalmology #optometry #eyehealth #eyes
