ASCRS Launches New Podcast

Patients want the best outcome from their eye surgery. Surgeons strive to meet these expectations, but what happens when the case is not going as planned?

This is the Ophthalmology Quicksand Chronicles hosted by Cataract eye surgeons Nicole Fram, MD and Elizabeth Yeu, MD. Dr. Fram and Dr. Yeu will explore those pivotal moments that every surgeon will inevitably encounter. Every time you think you have it figured out, the eyeball humbles you. In each episode, Drs. Fram and Yeu will host an expert in the field and delve into those “quicksand” moments; more specifically, the surgeon will reflect upon the nuances and lessons learned from a surgical experience that ultimately helped them evolve as surgeons.
