Who are we kidding, of course it does! Join us on our journey to learn about the present and future of ophthalmology – and to get to know D-EYE, a new handheld digital retinal camera.

Hi, I ’ m an Attending and I am READY to Complain About Billing.
I barely knew anything about billing before becoming an attending – the only tidbits I knew were: 1) there are levels 2) gotta have a certain number of systems in your ROS with at least 2 specifics per system 3) the reason I document “fundoscopic exam: unsuccessful” in a 7 month old instead of deleting the line like a sensible person who understands 7 month olds has something to do with min-maxing billing, and 4) ED charts say “MDM” a lot.
These are the charts our coders gave me during my 10 minute billing orientation:
So that’s good – theoretically I should be able to just consul...

Ultrasound: Eye Think It’s the Retina

Design and User Interface
What I like about this app is that the developers have made an effort to do something new and different. They could have just listed points. For examples, for CN V motor: clench jaw; raise eyebrows; screw up eyes. Instead they have put in pictures of someone actually doing these tasks. These design elements make t...
