OphthoCast

The Team Ophthocast is back with a new episode on a fresh topic. In this first instalment of the episode title 'Why Two', we will explore binocular vision and stereoacuity. Drawing comparisons with animal kingdom makes this study very easy and understandable. Watch out for the second part shortly. With over 4500 listeners, this podcast channel featured in the MedicineX/Ed conference at Stanford University in April 2017 and also stand to be presented at ESCRS 2017 Lisbon. This would not have been possible without you, our listener. Thank you for devoting your valuable time to lend us your ears.

After a long break we are back to the scene with the part two of our previous episode which was long due, "pupils - 02". Here we dwell upon the efferent defects and anisocoria, going through Horner's, Adie's, Wernicke's and Argyll Robertson pupil. Happy listening. www.ophthocast.com

We have successfully completed ONE year of uptime. Marking this achievement, we present to you a fresh episode, The Pregnant Eye. Here we describe the ocular changes occurring in the eye. Pregnancy is a physiological condition with a myriad of body changes. The eye is no exception. Starting from the conjunctiva to the optic nerve, every part is effected. It is easier to understand these changes if you correlate the body changes with the ocular changes.

With this episode describing the Vitreous humor, we step into the world of video. This audio podcast is the audio transcript of the video available on Youtube from the same loved producer, the Team OphthoCast. This episode has two references to the the images which are available on the video version. We will post the link to the video shortly.

After a short while, we are back with our new episode. This episode is on 'Pupils'. Due to the vastness of the topic, we have split the talk into two parts. Here you will find the first part. Happy listening. www.ophthocast.com

As a continuation to our previous episode, we present to you 'Anomalies of Accommodation'. Here we talk about various defects of accommodation and its management. Listening to our previous episode on Accommodation and even older one on Spectacles will help you assimilate this talk better. The speaker tries to cover all aspects of management, surgical as well as non-surgical briefly.

In this episode, the mechanism of Accommodation in a human eye is explained. With the anatomy and neurology of near vision, the attempt is at a comprehensive coverage of the topic of Accommodation. www.ophthocast.com

In our latest presentation, ‘Dye the Eye’, we reach the second episode. Here we take your around ICG, IFCG, Trypan blue and Janus green. We talk about the applications of these dyes in Ophthalmology. Happy listening. www.ophthocast.com

In 'Dye the Eye', we take you through the different dyes that we use in Ophthalmology. So much that all of them cannot be covered in a single episode. So we broke it down into multiple episodes. In the first part we cover Fluorescein, the most commonly used dye. Stay tuned for the next part. www.ophthocast.com

In our 6th episode, we take you throught Dr Hans Goldmann and his spectacular creations, his Tonometer. www.ophthocast.com

In the wake of 2016, we now present to you our latest episode, Keratometry. There are many ways to measure the corneal power but none perfect till date. Why? We try to give you a glimpse here. www.ophthocast.com

We reach our 4th episode today, on "Spectacular spectacles". In this episode, we talk about different lens materials, frames etc. Do not forget that our major clientèle uses spectacles. Although an optometry topic, these are essential pearls for an Ophthalmologist. www.ophthocast.com

Today in our third episode we tried a different format. We start with the life of Dr Marc Amsler and then talk about his contributions to Ophthalmology. We go through Amsler's grid and sign. Happy listening. www.ophthocast.com

Episode 2 of our audio series. Discussion on the axial measures of the eye. www.ophthocast.com

Sturm’s conoid is a classic description of light refraction in a spherocylindrical lens. Remember the days when we used to make ray diagrams of concave and convex lenses in our high school days…. Sturm’s conoid just takes it a step further. www.ophthocast.com
