First talk done in Darwin. I spoke at the Schwind Laser User Meeting on one of my favourite subjects: customising laser vision correction for unusual eyes. Something new for this year is Foresight software, which allows us to simulate outcomes with different laser treatment plans. #lasereyesurgery

Improvement in short-sightedness (myopia) from -3.25D to -2.50D translates to going from very blurred distance vision to very blurred distance vision; still nowhere near able to drive without correction.

📘 What can an elite cricketer teach eye surgeons?
While reviewing “Tested” by Pat Cummins for the AAO, I didn’t expect to revisit so many pearls of wisdom that are directly applicable to improving clinical practice.
It’s a quiet masterclass in performing under pressure & recovering from failure.

Another perfect example of how putting RFK Jr in charge of the DHHS is catastrophically stupid. This decision to sack Dr Pohlhaus and weaken regulations will put Americans at higher risk of severe eye infections.

CDC ordered staff this week not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging.
“The decision to vaccinate is a personal one,” a spokesperson said, echoing a line from a recent editorial RFK Jr. wrote

The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Just one of the most compelling reasons for a government to fund medical research is that it very frequently creates economic gains. You also don't make a population healthier by cancelling medical research. Totally backwards.
Studies terminated at NIH:
-On reducing asthma from mold
-On prenatal risks & screening
-On statins influence on dementia
-On the safety/risk of gender-affirming care
-On how Covid vax outcomes & disparities
-On improving HIV care
-Training programs for the next generation of scientists

As an ophthalmologist who sees #shingles affecting the #eye on a regular basis, this NIH grant cancellation is a terrible decision that will inevitably interfere with producing better clinical outcomes. RFK Jr is an anti-vax conspiracy theorist. #MedSky www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Her research grant mentioned ‘hesitancy.’ Now her funding is gone.
A medical researcher may have erroneously lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant money because she was swept up in Trump administration efforts to ban studies of vaccine hesitancy and uptake.

I maintain that the best emails are citation alerts. They don’t require any action. They show that other people are using your research and building on it.
This particular alert refers to a subject of great interest: how do we make cataract surgery as comfortable and relaxing as possible?

The vulnerability of PubMed under RFK Jnr has been a serious concern of mine for some time. The head of DHHS is an antivax conspiracy theorist; it follows that he disagrees with a lot of published medical science, and he has significant control over access. It’s a global problem now. #MedSky
