The spherical aberration of our monofocal IOLs determine their depth of focus. Older generation IOLs with positive spherical aberration have better intermediate vision ZA9003 -0.26 SN60WF -0.23 MI60 0.00 AR40e +0.05 SA60AT +0.18 iovs.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?aโ€ฆ

Here's my conversation with Mark Zuckerberg, his 3rd time on the podcast, but this time we talked in the Metaverse as photorealistic avatars. This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It really felt like we were talking in-person, but we were miles apart ๐Ÿคฏ It's

I feel like humanity has crossed two one way thresholds recently, chat-GPT like LLMs and now thisโ€ฆ. Not long until a incredibly realistic 3D scanned human will be animated by AI indistinguishably..

This is the most important change we need to ensure the next million doctors & their patients have a say in their healthcare. A profusion of MD/MBAs can prevent a future where all doctors/pharmacies/surgicenters are owned by a few mega conglomerates. relentlesshealthvalue.com/episode/ep416-โ€ฆ

This is an amazing documentary that follows several people who sought to change their eye color by traveling abroad to get BrightOcular implants. And reveals the tragic truth and consequences of these dangerous implants. The film is currently premiering as part of the

Half of Medicare beneficiaries are now in Medicare Advantage. Problem: MA plans punish Drs & health systems by denying care, creating time-draining prior auths, & clawing back payments months after. Solution: Hospitals & Drs are dropping MA plans doximity.com/newsfeed/9adbeโ€ฆ

Every surgeon I know has been crushed with time consuming and bandwidth sucking peer to peers and unjustified denials for their Medicare Advantage patients leading to delays in care. 2/4

What a treat seeing Sebastian Maniscalco at #MSG. Maniscalco is a master of his craft - super efficient, not a wasted word or action. Yes Iโ€™m going to compare him to the master surgeon - that anyone can pick out on surgical video due to their efficiency and beauty of movement.
