I spoke at the Schwind Laser User Meeting on one of my favourite subjects: customising laser vision correction for unusual eyes.

Dr Daya Sharma @drdayasharma.bsky.social · 18/04/2025📘 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.

Dr Daya Sharma @drdayasharma.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Just 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. 162
Dr Daya Sharma @drdayasharma.bsky.social · 16/03/2025As 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/...washingtonpost.comHer 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. 3158
Dr Daya Sharma @drdayasharma.bsky.social · 13/03/2025I maintain that the best emails are citation alerts. They don’t require any action.

Dr Daya Sharma @drdayasharma.bsky.social · 02/03/2025The 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.
