Welcome to the July issue of The Ophthalmologist. Upfront’s topics include revolutionizing OCT and an electric new approach to treating glaucoma. In My View sees Savak Teymoorian ask why more don’t adopt a proactive approach to glaucoma treatment, and Steve Charles shares why he believes OCT should be performed in all patients before cataract surgery, not just those receiving premium IOLs. In our Feature, The Art of Eyes, we showcase an exquisite collection of ophthalmic images. In Practice features Joseph Panarelli describing the 360° degree trabeculotomy procedure for pediatric glaucoma, and in Profession, William Flanary shares a live blog of his first ever cataract surgery to show that all surgeons, even the “rock stars,” experience a learning curve. Finally, we Sit Down With Bradley Straatsma, Founding Director of the Jules Stein Eye Institute, California, USA.
