postoperatively via Tonopen and also for managing the intraocular
pressure. With intraocular gas in the vitreous cavity, it is imperative that
the intraocular pressure be checked between 3 to 6 hours after insufflation
of the eye. Generally, an IOP of 20-25 needs no treatment. An IOP
between 25-30 can be managed with drops only. An IOP between 30-40
is managed with a combination of drops and oral/IV medications unless
there are contraindications. (Be careful about contraindications!) Always
be as gentle as possible as postoperatively the eyes are tender.
All Wednesdays:
The resident will help with postop visits from the previous day. The
patients from the previous day’s surgery are seen early in the morning.
Unless otherwise asked, the resident should have seen and written a note
on the postop patient by 7:30 am, at which time, i will see the patient. The
resident will be responsible for discharge orders and hospital dictation.
The resident will then go to ECMC by 8:00 am to start seeing the retina
patients in the Eye Clinic (Retina clinic is every Wednesday at ECMC).
Ideally, all retina patients at ECMC should be seen by the retina resident
and shown to me after you have made a decision regarding their
management. Wednesday afternoons, the resident should read fluorescein
angiograms and select interesting cases for the next Fluorescein
Angiography Conference. We’ll also have presentations by the retina
resident or others on various retina related topics on Wednesday
afternoons if clinic work is completed in a timely manner.
All Thursdays and Fridays:
The resident will be responsible for putting together Retina Grand Rounds
while on rotation. On Thursdays and Fridays, I will be fulfilling my
laboratory obligations and will only be available for absolute emergencies
in retina (please check with my secretary). Please check and make sure
that everything is ready to go for any Monday surgery cases at ECMC. If
Dr. John Crofts has patients scheduled for his clinics at MFG and/or
ECMC, you should be available for his clinics. You should also be
available for any retina emergencies that arise all week long during
normal working day hours.
I hope you have an enjoyable time during your retina rotation and that it proves to
be a valuable learning experience for you.
