Knock Knock Eye: Flashes, Floaters, and Tears...Oh My!

MP3•Episode home

Ever wondered what happens when your eye jelly decides to collapse in on itself? Or why some cataract surgeons apparently get squeamish around LASIK patients (spoiler: they shouldn’t)? This episode takes you from pediatrician pep rallies to the surprisingly dark side of floaters and flashes. Along the way, I’ll rant a little, nerd out a lot, and maybe terrify you just enough to finally schedule that eye exam.

Takeaways:

What flashes of light really mean—and why they send ophthalmologists running for the laser.
Why pediatricians stand out in Washington, and what the rest of us could learn from them.
The surprising risk of pairing multifocal lenses with LASIK eyes (and why I say “no thanks”).
The week I had a flood of retinal tears in clinic—and the lessons you need to know.
Why stepping back from the noise of social media might just save your sanity (and your career).
