Knock Knock, Hi! with the Glaucomfleckens

Knock Knock Eye: Consulting Ophthalmology: A Survival Guide


Listen Later

Let’s get one thing out of the way: I’m not mad you called me at 2 a.m. about an eye. Really, I’m not. But also… were they just missing their glasses? This week, I’m tackling everything that drives ophthalmologists crazy—and how to avoid becoming that story we tell over drinks. From wild consults and missing visual acuity checks to what actually makes an emergency worth a call, I’m handing you the crash course med school never gave you. Plus: a retina saga, a hot muffler, and why I’ll never be a 5:30 a.m. gym person. Ever.


Takeaways:

  • If you’re consulting ophthalmology, at least check vision. Please. I’m begging you.

  • No, we don’t expect you to do a full fundus exam—but we do expect you to ask if they’ve had recent eye surgery.

  • Not all double vision is created equal. Ask if it goes away when they cover one eye.

  • My most frustrating consult? I was called in… to put a patient’s glasses on.

  • In the community, y’all are way more self-sufficient than I ever gave you credit for in residency.
