#openaccess #7 of our top 10 articles from 2021: "#Diabetic eye disease: A review of screening and management recommendations". Includes summary of landmark studies. @brittni_ashton @christinaflaxel @CaseyEye #retinopathy. Read for free: dx.doi.org/10.1111/ceo.13894
A #scribe is meant to improve #EHR efficiency, but what do the data show? From my own work (30K eye clinic visits, led by @MichelleHolm15 & Haley Dusek), @AAOjournal: Shorter total documentation time & MD note editing time. But longer office visits & chart closure time. (1/2)

OCT is not just for macular disease anymore... 105 degrees non-contact for pediatric retinal imaging. @jian_yifan @YaliJiaOCT @CaseyEye @RPB_org @NEIDirector @NatEyeInstitute #OSA_OL osapublishing.org/ol/fulltex…
Honored that my medical school thesis on #BAP1 timing in #uvealmelanoma was featured as a top ocular oncology paper of the year at #AAO2021! Grateful for our team @HEGrossniklaus @GStalhammar. Thanks @eyemikezein for sending me this. Hope to be at AAO in person in the future! – at Portland, OR

Thrilled to celebrate an incredible milestone: Casey's outreach program has provided 10,000 free eye exams to Oregonians since launching its mobile eye clinic 10 yrs ago-all part of our aim to end #blindness bit.ly/34XJmIU

Why has the United States handled this pandemic so badly? The Editors note that although we came into this crisis with enormous advantages, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent.

thanks to coauthors for the "opportunity" to try to summarize such a massive body of work... but here is our best attempt at a 30,000 ft overview for @AAOjournal . Now, as a field, lets actually DO some clinical trials... aaojournal.org/article/S0161…

Congratulations to @MichaelFChiang on the @NatEyeInstitute Directorship! We are thrilled for Dr. Chiang, a former RPB Career Development Awardee (and mentor to more recent RPB grantees) and for the scientific community, who will benefit from his excellent leadership!
