The second episode of Season 3 of Ophthalmology Quicksand Chronicles—Eureka Moments is online now! Hosts Nicole Fram, MD, and Elizabeth Yeu, MD, welcome guest Priya Narang, MD, in “A Riveting Take on the Yamane Technique.” Dr. Narang reviews her “eureka moment” where she rivets a haptic bulb to avoid slippage through the intrascleral tunnel in her modified Yamane Technique. Sometimes the best solutions are the most simple and accessible. This season of Ophthalmology Quicksand Chronicles is produced as a podcast and webcast, featuring soundbites filled with enlightening moments—eureka moments—that allow surgeons to “come out of the dark” and hopefully prevent a quicksand moment from happening! Subscribe and watch this podcast/webcast on YouTube or listen with your favorite podcast platform—and don’t forget to rate and review! Thank you to Season 3, Episode 2 sponsor Diamatrix. |
