  • Brilliant stuff....

    Extremely well researched topics with a great balance of journal clubs, surgical pearls, interviews with Stalwarts and tips on tricks on all aspects of Retina.

    The general 6 or 8 minute talk and 2 minute discussion format of meetings misses out on so many nuances and subtle issues.

    If "God is in the detail" - then this podcast is definitely heaven!

    The elaborate discussion and detailed research of vital topics by Jay Sridhar really helps bring out all the "meat" on a variety of subjects.

  • A podcast that has changed the game

    As an amateur podcaster and medical student myself, Dr. Sridhar makes what is difficult look easy with poise and talent. He is not only a host who makes his guests feel at ease, but he appropriately shares his insight within the realm of all things related to retina and medical education. What makes these episodes gel is without a doubt tons of effort built on the foundation of even greater passion. We are all looking forward to learning from each new episode.

Episode 517: Device Design Discussion with Dr. Frank Brodie

Pros include not being limited by traditional IOL selection and potentially greater reproducibility; cons involve surgical learning curves and ensuring proper fixation and protection against erosion.
Episode 517: Device Design Discussion with Dr. Frank Brodie
Q: What is the main premise before designing a device?
Identify the unmet clinical need and the why behind it, ensuring the solution improves patient care rather than pursuing entrepreneurship for its own sake.
Episode 515: Career Development and Mentorship with Dr. Camille Palma
Q: How did you end up in retina, and what path did you take after fellowship?
I was always drawn to retina because of the challenge and the variety; my chair suggested that if I liked problem solving in a creative way, retina would be a better fit than cornea, which led me toward retinal specialty and a career built on consistent technique and adaptability.
Episode 514: September Retinal Physician Review Including Proteomics for Choroidal Melanoma and Retinoblastoma, Radiation Retinopathy Prevention, and Uveitis Treatment
Q: How might aqueous humor proteomics and circulating tumor DNA influence monitoring for metastasis and treatment decisions?
Aqueous humor and ctDNA could enable earlier detection of metastasis and help identify molecular targets, supporting longitudinal monitoring and personalized treatment strategies.
Episode 514: September Retinal Physician Review Including Proteomics for Choroidal Melanoma and Retinoblastoma, Radiation Retinopathy Prevention, and Uveitis Treatment
Q: What is the potential role of proteomics in replacing or supplementing biopsy for prognostication in uveal melanoma and retinoblastoma?
Proteomics could provide prognostic information and help tailor therapies while potentially reducing the need for invasive biopsy, especially with aqueous or vitreous samples offering less invasive access and longitudinal monitoring.
