  • Knock Knock Eye: Can You Believe These States' Driving Vision Requirements?

    Knock Knock Eye: Can You Believe These States' Driving Vision Requirements?
    Sep 26 2024
    In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I uncover the surprising and sometimes shocking differences in vision requirements for drivers across the U.S. Find out which states are the worst when it comes to lax vision standards for drivers and why you might want to be extra cautious on the roads in those areas. I also tackle common questions about the safety of Halloween costume contact lenses and offers eye care tips to keep your vision healthy. From costume safety to dangerous driving states, this episode is packed with insights you don’t want to miss. Takeaways: The Worst States to Drive with Vision Impairments: Dr. Flannery ranks the five U.S. states with the most relaxed vision requirements for drivers, revealing alarming standards that may put other drivers at risk. Importance of Peripheral Vision for Driving: Many states lack sufficient peripheral vision requirements for drivers, even though peripheral vision is crucial for road safety and detecting potential hazards. Costume Contact Lens Risks: Halloween costume contact lenses, especially when bought online, can be dangerous, leading to corneal abrasions or infections if they don’t fit properly or are worn for too long. The Importance of Proper Contact Lens Fitting: Contact lenses, including cosmetic ones, must fit properly to avoid damage to the eye, and seeing an eye doctor before wearing them is the safest route. An Update on Kyle Van Noy’s Eye Injury: The episode revisits the update on NFL linebacker Kyle Van Noy’s orbital fracture and the incredibly fast response time of an ophthalmologist, setting a high bar for on-call medical services. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

  • Glauc Talk: Doctors Have Strong Opinions About Scrubs in Public

    Glauc Talk: Doctors Have Strong Opinions About Scrubs in Public
    Sep 24 2024
    In this episode of Glauc Talk, we discuss the ins and outs of flying cross-country for medical conferences and the challenges of balancing travel with keynote speaking. We explore the quirky yet contentious debate of whether doctors should wear scrubs in public, sharing their own experiences and differing opinions on the topic. The episode is packed with humorous stories about early morning keynote presentations, conference dynamics, and the life of a traveling physician. Join them for laughs, insights, and an inside look at the lighter side of medical conferences. Takeaways: Traveling for medical conferences can be exhausting, especially when flying cross-country and dealing with time zone changes. Medical conferences often start early to ensure audience participation, especially for keynotes that aim to attract attendees to exhibit halls. Wearing scrubs in public is a debated topic among healthcare professionals, with some feeling self-conscious about the perception of cleanliness. Scrubs aren’t always "dirty"—especially for doctors in specialties like ophthalmology—but the stigma around wearing them outside of the hospital persists. Being funny early in the morning is a challenge for keynote speakers at medical conferences, but humor is crucial in engaging a sleepy audience. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

  • Knock Knock Eye: Kyle Van Noy's Orbital Fracture: Where Was the Eye Doctor?

    Knock Knock Eye: Kyle Van Noy's Orbital Fracture: Where Was the Eye Doctor?
    Sep 19 2024
    In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I discuss the recent injury of NFL linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who suffered an orbital fracture during a game. Van Noy criticized the time it took for an eye doctor to reach him in the locker room, but I offer a behind-the-scenes look at why this might not be as shocking as it seems. From the logistics of getting an ophthalmologist to a stadium to understanding orbital fractures, this episode dives into the complexities of eye injuries in professional sports and what we can learn from this unusual situation. Takeaways: The Logistics of Eye Care in Sports: Kyle Van Noy’s injury highlighted the challenge of quickly accessing specialized care, like ophthalmologists, during professional sports events, which can take longer than expected for specific injuries. The Dangers of Eye Subluxation: Eye subluxation, where the eyelids get trapped behind the eyeball, can occur in conditions like severe thyroid eye disease. This rare and serious condition requires immediate medical attention to prevent permanent vision loss. Gene Therapy for Inherited Eye Diseases: The episode briefly touches on advancements in gene therapy for rare conditions like Leber congenital amaurosis, offering hope for patients with inherited retinal diseases as groundbreaking treatments become more available. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!
