This podcast describes the methods used at The New York Eye Cancer Center to show and thus teach patients about their disease, need for treatment and probable outcomes (for sight and life). For example, each examination room has a 55" 4K screen to display clinical photographs of tumors, radiation side effects and 3D OCT images of inside the eye. Images of important photographs and figures from publications are framed and displayed to show risk of tumor spread and methods of treatment.  Model eyes with plastic intraocular tumors, laminated photographs and devices can be used to show exactly what is involved during surgery. They say a picture is worth a thousand words!
