Welcome to the site

I am a board-certified ophthalmologist interested in asp.net and vb.net programming. I have posted some visual studio programs below to the left to help with common ophthalmic calculations. I occasionally post photos and clinical scenarios from my practice.

Alkali burn with a lot of conjunctival blanching. It's healed slowly but surely over 3 weeks.

first iPhone beta

Here's my first try. It works, but I still have to work on the rounding and significant figures. I'll add post-LASIK stuff and some other utilities later. Maybe post a limited version on the appstore without the legal issues.

first step on an iPhone app

I've been working on writing an IOL calculator for the iPhone, but had to learn how to write objective-c first. Here's my first attempt at a program with xcode. I still have to clean up the significant digits and a textbox for target postop refraction. Sadly, all these programs are only for my personal use because of trademark and licensing issues.

Lumigan side effect

I've posted a few times on this but this is the first patient in my practice that wanted to change medications to get her eyelashes to grow. The right eye has been on Lumigan for five or six months and the left eye is well-controlled following SLT. The patient wants to start using Lumigan in her left eye just for the side-effect. Luckily, she isn't having any periorbital skin pigmentation or iris changes.
