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.

No surgeries. No miracle pills. Just crystal CLEAR

"aging"
Nope. It's part of modern life: nonstop screens, trash lighting, zero ancestral habits.
Your vision isn't broken. It's just begging for a CLEAR lifestyle.

This young man dreamed of serving his country, but severe #astigmatism with intolerance of glasses & contacts held him back. He had #LASIK & now proudly wears the uniform. #Lasereyesurgery doesn't just improve sight, it transforms lives.

📘 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.

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.

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.

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

What mechanisms are there to safeguard integrity of the search function in PubMed under a RFK Jnr controlled DHHS? We've already witnessed how search functions elsewhere can be completely manipulated to reduce access to science for political reasons. Can we take pubmed search for granted? #Medsky
