First talk done in Darwin. I spoke at the Schwind Laser User Meeting on one of my favourite subjects: customising laser vision correction for unusual eyes. Something new for this year is Foresight software, which allows us to simulate outcomes with different laser treatment plans. #lasereyesurgery
@ichatanu.bsky.social hello. You should post something! 😉
This poor car is just trying to live its best life in peace.
Improvement in short-sightedness (myopia) from -3.25D to -2.50D translates to going from very blurred distance vision to very blurred distance vision; still nowhere near able to drive without correction.
This young man dreamed of serving his country, but severe #astigmatism with intolerance of glasses & contacts held him back. He had #LASIK & now proudly wears the uniform. #Lasereyesurgery doesn't just improve sight, it transforms lives. If your vision is holding you back, let's talk.
Lest We Forget. This Anzac Day, I remember and honour my great-grandfather, Brigadier Edward Thomas “Eddie” Harnett, and his son, my great-uncle Flight Sergeant Terence “Terry” Harnett, whose service spanned both world wars. #AnzacDay #LestWeForget
🚁She used to see air traffic second. 👩✈️Laser vision correction improved how she flies. Lauren is a commercial helicopter pilot who wore glasses for high astigmatism. See her story. #lasereyesurgery #LASIK #vision #eyes #SmartSight #laservisioncorrection
"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

📘 What can an elite cricketer teach eye surgeons? While reviewing “Tested” by Pat Cummins for the AAO, I didn’t expect to revisit so many pearls of wisdom that are directly applicable to improving clinical practice. It’s a quiet masterclass in performing under pressure & recovering from failure.
Another perfect example of how putting RFK Jr in charge of the DHHS is catastrophically stupid. This decision to sack Dr Pohlhaus and weaken regulations will put Americans at higher risk of severe eye infections.
Katherine Eban@katherineeban.bsky.social · 2y agoNEW @vanityfair.com: When Americans died, were blinded, had eyeballs removed from tainted eye drops, @fda.gov relied on Dr Timothy Pohlhaus, among its few top sterile drug manufacturing experts. He, thousands more, were fired from US health agencies yesterday. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...
A huge loss at FDA. Peter Marks originated rhe Operation Warp Speed Covid vaccine idea and has overseen so many essential biotech programs such as genome editing cures www.wsj.com/politics/top...

In his resignation letter, Dr. Peter Marks cited ‘misinformation and lies’ from Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr.

CDC ordered staff this week not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging. “The decision to vaccinate is a personal one,” a spokesperson said, echoing a line from a recent editorial RFK Jr. wrote

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
Just one of the most compelling reasons for a government to fund medical research is that it very frequently creates economic gains. You also don't make a population healthier by cancelling medical research. Totally backwards.

As an ophthalmologist who sees #shingles affecting the #eye on a regular basis, this NIH grant cancellation is a terrible decision that will inevitably interfere with producing better clinical outcomes. RFK Jr is an anti-vax conspiracy theorist. #MedSky www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Her research grant mentioned ‘hesitancy.’ Now her funding is gone.
A medical researcher may have erroneously lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant money because she was swept up in Trump administration efforts to ban studies of vaccine hesitancy and uptake.

I maintain that the best emails are citation alerts. They don’t require any action. They show that other people are using your research and building on it. This particular alert refers to a subject of great interest: how do we make cataract surgery as comfortable and relaxing as possible?
Where do you think Embase and Ovid MEDLINE and MEDLINE EBSCO and Scopus and Web of Science are getting their MEDLINE records from? Could it possibly be MEDLINE?

It is true. Global vandalism on an epic scale.
Alice Roberts@profaliceroberts.bsky.social · 2y agoIt seems PubMed has disappeared. This is the digital equivalent of burning a library.
You can freely access all PubMed records at Europepmc.org - I just checked and it's up and running.

The vulnerability of PubMed under RFK Jnr has been a serious concern of mine for some time. The head of DHHS is an antivax conspiracy theorist; it follows that he disagrees with a lot of published medical science, and he has significant control over access. It’s a global problem now. #MedSky
Shematologist, MD@shematologist.medsky.social · 2y agoThis is going to be a big problem. Not typically on pubmed (a free online database of medical literature) on Saturday nights but heard it was down and had to check for myself.

I created my CPD plan for the year in January, and then realised that I’d already done 30% of the yearly requirement. Had to double check it. Medicolegal reports and peer review of journal articles add up quickly…
The best part of my day was seeing 15yo Caoimhe Bray hit a paddle scoop for four in the NSW v SA WNCL. The bowler, Megan Schutt, is ranked #3 by the ICC for ODI’s. Amazing young talent.
This is a real example of where research disinformation completely dwarfs research communication on social media.

I feel like when you write “Twitter’s descent” @altmetric.com, it should be followed by “into hell”. Harsh? Harsh but fair? This graph definitely doesn’t incorporate the toxicity of X.
