I'm surprised you didn't talk about naturally changing eye color. I've had eye color (I think naturally gray) that changes based on the light around me and whatever I'm wearing I'm pretty sure. I've heard that it's based on the amount of collagen in a gray eye but I'm not sure.

I’m super excited, I have been cured from herpes simplex virus after using your medicine. Thank you doctor Igudia on RUclips you are a kind doctor my God will always bless you and your family, keep saving lives doctor Igudia.

Only eye surgery I’ve had is two probings of my nasolacrimal duct when I was a baby

As a mom of a baby who has had 2 eye surgeries and is in a consideration for the third one, I was listening to your list like "check, might need that one, sort of check, don't need that one, nor that one". My boy was born with bilateral congenital cataracts, so cataract surgery is a check but no IOL because his pupils didn't wanna dialate enough so he now wears contacts. Soon after he got a bilateral vitritis and ended up needing a vitrectomy in his left eye during which they discovered he had an epiretinal membrane stuck to the back of his eye, got rid of that too. His left eye is weaker and is starting to turn in a bit and also has secondary glaucoma - the surgery we're considering. Later in he got diagnosed with ocular albinism too. I wanted to ask if you could talk a bit about congenital cataracts or ocular albinism because both are pretty rare and interesting. P.S. Despite everything his eyesight is currently testing withing a normal range for his age. Sry about bad English.

Speaking of optometrists, I think it'd be interesting to learn some compare & contrasts ophthalmologists have with them! Some Venn Diagramming, if you will :D

To answer the question at 31:40, Preston answered one of the two options I'm aware of. The other option is to pay back the military's financial backing up to that point as a loan. The interest rate I saw was 2%. If you choose the loan and become eligible to be a doctor again you may get an invite back into the program. There may be other options as well but these two are what we're presented on the case I observed.

I think it's okay that you don't have an official nurse character (aside from the wonderful snippets of the OR scrub nurse/ER charge nurse/NICU nurse - you really get the vibes of those characters). Doc Schmidt does a pretty good job of exploring the dynamics between physicians and nursing staff on the floor in a fun, self-deprecating way, but it is a fine line to balance I think.

Awesome

Random question, but are these viral eye massagers safe?? In particular for someone with astigmatism, and a lazy eye with little sight?! Don't wanna buy if dangerous!

We switched to plain language codes due to the confusion

I was hoping there would be candy inside. 😞

Wow. Maybe a dumb question how do you hold the eye steady while you work on it?

I saw the title and would have thought that an iridotomy was the tiniest surgery. (I've had two.)

I’m not a medical professional but I love these videos. Soooo interesting 😊

The model helps. Thanks.

But multifocal lens can cause more halos

Can you donate your corneas if you have had LASIK?

Even more incredible when the patient is educated on the root cause of their eyes failing, given the proper guidance, and it heals naturally. The surgery is cute, but it’s just another bandaid on a much larger problem.

Preston getting in trouble for “unprofessional behavior” gives new meaning to that short he made on unprofessionalism. Great collaboration, I hope to see more in the future.

We were able to donate my mom’s eyes even though we couldn’t donate anything else. I know that sounds weird but it was a great comfort since she was an organ donor from waaaay back.

Finally! Now we lay people can pretend we're understanding more of the nitty gritty 😂 But seriously, you do a great job explaining things & this will certainly help the rest of us

Oh I have a question! I've always found the science around medicine and the body super interesting, but I could never actually work in the field since everything grosses me out. So I've ended up doing medical adjacent background paperwork stuff (I'm not the business bro though lol). But is there anything about the eye that grosses you out about the eye? Like a surgery or condition that gives you the ick?

How can you have one eye bloodshot while the other one is normal?

Regarding screen time, does closing your eyes for 20 seconds do the same thing as looking away?

Why does ankylosing spondylitis cause uveitis? Did the uveitis itself or the steroid drop treatment cause my temporary glaucoma?

How does one become a Jonathan (Opthalmologist's scribe)? Love your content. I'm a non medical listener. Thank you for keeping my 1 hour commute interesting!

So you’re turning Eye Balls into Eggs, to unscramble the mess they’ve gotten themselves into 🥚👀…… ⚛️☮️🌏

Eyeball comedy. When I explain my NAION I tell people it starts with having a small disc in the back of the eye. I always enunciate carefully when I say this. "It's a small DISC. Dissssc. I have a small disc." That usually gets 'em laughing while I explain the rest of the condition.

I was diagnosed 6 months ago with Herpes and I was at the middle of a very painful outbreak that I kept waiting to get better. All gratitude to Dr Igudia on RUclips for his positive contribution towards helping me. If the world has more doctors like you, it will be a better place. Am grateful doc

Albinism update: Paralympic swimmer and bronze medalist Colleen Young has albinism! Just watched her take the bronze for USA today.

By the way ... Are all eyeballs the same size? Exactly? Always?

As soon as you said it, I just kept imagining cracking the eyeball open like an egg 😂

OHMYGOSH!!! You are talking about corneal transplant surgery! My ophthalmologist is going to do a partial thickness corneal transplant on the INSIDE of my right eye, AND YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IT!!! So excited!!!!!! She's already done a PTK to the outside of that eye. The left eye needs similar work. I'm a veteran, and my eyes were damaged when I was in the Navy. This is so-oo-oo-o exciting!!!

You asked for an eye doctor story. Well here goes. I have only had my eyes dilated once in my life, despite having many eye appointments. When I was in the 4th grade, I had one appointment where they did the drops. After the appointment, they told my mother I needed glasses and that, after I got used to them, they would help with headaches. We got the glasses and for a couple months I tried to get used to them. Unfortunately, they kept giving me headaches instead of preventing them. I'd have to remove them no matter how long I waited tried to get used to them. We went back to the doctor and discovered there had been a rather frustrating mistake. Turns out my vision was perfectly normal, they had somehow messed up the measurements due to the eyedrops, and I sailed on my merry way with no glasses at all. Later as a teenager, I was diagnosed with migraines which accounted for the headaches and last time I got my eyes check, I was only off by 1/2 a point, probably because I'm in my mid thirties and coming up to that reading glasses stage.

Could you talk about ICL surgery? That would be amazing (-11 prescription)

This was amazingly informative. Thank you very much <3

Finally!! We've been saying get one for at least a year! 😂😅😂❤ Congrats!

Quick question, this has nothing to do with eyes, so you have really nice curly hair, and you've mentioned your past cancer and having treatment, is your curly hair a by product of chemo, called chemo curls? or have you always had curly hair? Btw I've emailed you before about possible topics, one of them being astrohyalosis. Tell me what you think, about that for a topic either on starry eyes or knockknockhi .

Love your content! I have had a multitude of eye surgeries. I have a 13 mm and 14 mm eye. Finding a lens to use for my cataract surgery back in the 2012 timeframe was difficult! I had some pretty interesting glaucoma surgeries in the past!

As a trans guy: If you can't make your own, store bought is fine.

Why do your eyes spin when you are drunk? And does spinning in the opposite direction reduce the spinning?

This was cool! I've had strabismus surgery, and something I thought was neat is that they can do adjustable sutures so that they can fine-tune it afterwards. I didn't need them, which I'm kind of relieved about because it sounds like an unnerving experience, but it's also pretty cool that they can do that. Having the double vision go away (or at least go way down) really does make a huge difference! I really appreciate the pediatric opthalmology department (They're the ones who see adult strabismus patients too, at least where I'm at) And also - shout out to Orthoptics people, I didn't know they existed until I was dealing with the strabismus stuff, but they all seemed very friendly and helpful and all the tools they use are pretty cool looking, even if they do make my eyes sore 😅

How and why does Plaquenil affect the eye? Are there other drugs that can impact vision, like Prednisone?

Alas, I have no eyeball models. I do have a model heart that was purchased a few Octobers ago and summarily covered in uneven red fabric paint to simulate a real heart which I now keep on my shelf, but if you would like it for your cardiologist character the paint is easy to clean off. XD

Thank goodness for ortho bros. I broke my ankle a few years ago. My surgeon was so kind and fixed me right up. Man, I really appreciate him. 😊

Seeing my doc today. Hoping for good pressure readings after my surgery. Hoping to avoid drops.

I love the eyeball model!!!

"Come on, join us!" .... "Jooooin Uuussss!" ... O_o? Night of the Living Ophthalmologists vibes?

Room for comedy in retinal surgery is part of vitreous humor?

Yes! Finally an eyeball prop! And the eyeball pillow on the chair is cool. 👀 *I was able to watch my Mom's second cataract surgery, they had it on camera for us in a little room next to a big window into the operating room. It was really interesting! My sister, a L & D nurse for 25 years, could not watch!😅 *You should have an opthalmologist specializing in surgeries you don't do, as one of your guests. *I did have laser surgery for a large retinal tear. It was crazy! 🤯
