February 2024 Issue of The Ophthalmologist

Welcome to the January/February issue of The Ophthalmologist! Our new cover feature looks at the need for effective collaboration between optometrists and ophthalmologists and features input from experts in both fields. In his editorial, Alun Evans addresses the recent controversy in the US, where five Medicare administrative contractors (MACs) had threatened to withdraw their local coverage determinations (LCDs) for a number of MIGS procedures. Pushpa Raman describes how she incorporates ikigai – the Japanese way to finding a happy, meaningful existence – into her glaucoma practice . And we sit down with Uganda’s Geoffrey Wabulembo, Medical Director, Eye Health and Neglected Tropical Diseases at Light for the World.
