Latest Issue of EyeWorld is Full of Lessons Learned

EyeWorld has begun posting articles online from the latest issue of its quarterly magazine. This issue focuses on “Lessons learned to level up” with some articles dedicated to lessons learned in cataract, refractive surgery, cornea, and glaucoma, as well as some thoughts from Editorial Board members and other contributors peppered throughout.

“Much of how we approach our current practice of ophthalmology is based on what we have learned from our prior experiences. Along the way, we have struggles, complications, and many successes. All of these experience help shape how we approach our next patient.” —Sumit “Sam” Garg, MD, EyeWorld Chief Medical Editor
