This video was amazing! Thank you so much. No other step/NBME resource gives us exclusive Ophtho reviews, which is why it was my most poorly performed system on uworld haha. This is very helpful!

So nice one .. expect such videos on other subjects too pls

[@haydenyip1412]

Thank for making this video. I have always been looking for contents like this in RUclips. This is a very good all in one video with excellent content not only for ophthalmology students, but also, optometry students like me to revise occasionally and before exams.

[@osamaahmedmd]

Best of luck with optometry school! I'm glad you found this helpful

[@AM-pn5mh]

thanks a ton!!
can you please make videos on pupillary control, visual field defect, internuclear ophthalmoplegia.

[@osamaahmedmd]

Appreciate it! Yes, will try to make one soon!

[@randmh3643]

Thank you doctor osama, you saved us, may Allah grant you paradise

[@osamaahmedmd]

Inshallah, thank you for your feedback :)

[@shatraghunagadade9442]

❤❤❤❤

[@abc-bu5xz]

Thank you very much for this amazing video. I have one question about cn 7 palsy which is at 53:34, as far as I know umn lesion affects lower face and lmn lesion affects all face bcs lmn lesion effects nerves that innervate upper face and come from both sides of the brain but umn does not.

[@osamaahmedmd]

Thank you so much for the correction. I unfortunately mixed up my lesions when narrating. Now noted as a correction in the pinned comments and in the video description!

[@anwaarmethfer2089]

thank you so much doctor this saved me so much time and effort from books and university lectures !! is there a way i find the slides as a powerpoint or PDF to get them printed ? :)

[@osamaahmedmd]

Thank you! Sadly can’t find PDF right now - will send it to you if I can, but I have my website with a lot of this info on it www.ophthobasics.com

[@stevegerrish6720]

Anyone got an anki deck for this lecture?

[@osamaahmedmd]

Wish I had time to make an anki deck for this. Will Defs try to put one together if time allows during residency

[@Mydrose2046]

Hi is there a pdf for the slides? great lecture

[@osamaahmedmd]

Yes! I’ll link it in the description soon!

[@Hoopdera]

[@osamaahmedmd]

Yes, very briefly at 50:09

[@HT.100]

Ophthalmology is a subject that I don't think a general physician needs to know that well.
People with eye problems should go to an ophthalmologist directly

[@osamaahmedmd]

While I agree that many eye pathologies fall outside the realm of management by general physicians, The vast majority of community hospitals, ERs and urgent cares in North America do not have access to on call ophthalmologists in person. Life threatening Pathologies like CN III palsies or GCA cannot wait till being seen by outpatient ophthalmologists. Other pathologies like retinal detachments, infections and vision loss need to be appropriately recognized and triaged by general physicians in order to ensure timely referrals.

[@osamaahmedmd]

And even if one doesn’t plan on looking at patients eyes as a general physician, everyone still needs to know enough ophthalmology to pass their general medicine boards, which is hopefully what this video is meant to help with

[@HT.100]

@@osamaahmedmd
I agree but if it's a real emergency then there is not much a general physician can do in a clinic and that patient will have to get referred to an Emergency department.
Also, I always read of GCA as being a chronic condition

[@osamaahmedmd]

@@HT.100 the majority of ERs in America do not have ophthalmology on call. In which case patient may have to be triaged at the local ER for transfer to a hospital like mine which may be over 5 hours away. Appropriate triage necessitates ER physicians having a good understanding of ophthalmology.
Also GCA can have chronic inflammation but arterial inflammation can lead to sudden permanent vision loss and strokes that require immediate IV steroids even before the diagnosis is confirmed via biopsy
