Paging Dr. Glaucomflecken: Humor with a Purpose

Fri, 02 Oct 2026 03:00:00 -0500

For our 100th episode, we welcome Dr. Will Flanary, the ophthalmologist and comedian behind Dr. Glaucomflecken. Dr. Flanary shares how an anonymous creative outlet grew into a platform reaching millions and takes us behind the specialty characters we all love. Dr. Will Flanary shares how humor, storytelling, and satire have helped create meaningful conversations about the realities of modern healthcare and the physician experience. We discuss why physicians struggle to speak with one voice, how state-level advocacy can create real change, and why he is urging communities to “keep medicine local.” Funny, candid, and hopeful, this episode reveals why Dr. Glaucomflecken’s humor resonates with all of us.

Global Ophthalmology Journal Club with Dr Ashlie Bernhisel

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 03:00:00 -0500

In this episode, Dr. Bernhisel discusses two articles on global ophthalmology. Tune in to learn about Dissemination and Implementation Science and why innovative advancements don’t typically translate to improved patient outcomes. One of the articles is an opinion piece on overcoming the “last-mile translational gap” in ophthalmology care globally. The other is a successful example where a Smart phone app enhanced follow up after failed school screening in Kenya. As much as imaging and AI help us dream big in ophthalmology, these articles remind us that we need to be mindful of patient behavior, reach, adoption, fidelity, and sustainability.

Cleaner and Greener: New Disinfection Guidelines with Dr. Cheryl Khanna

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 03:00:00 -0500

What if a decades-old infection-control rule isn’t actually making eye care safer and is instead damaging equipment, generating unnecessary plastic waste, and costing the health care system millions? In this episode, we are joined by Mayo Clinic glaucoma specialist, Dr. Cheryl Khanna, to discuss a potentially practice-changing position statement from the American Glaucoma Society and American Academy of Ophthalmology on tonometer disinfection. The group explores why longstanding high-level disinfection requirements may deserve reconsideration, including the lack of confirmed infections transmitted through tonometry, potential damage to Goldmann tonometer tips from high-level disinfection, and the unique antimicrobial properties of the ocular surface. Tune in to hear evidence supporting physical cleaning and low-level disinfection for appropriately selected patients. Finally, the conversation tackles the financial and environmental consequences of disposable devices in ophthalmology and what still needs to happen before these recommendations translate into widespread changes in clinical practice.
