Banzai Consortium Blogs
This area holds all of the former Banzai Group Forum archives. You can use Blogs the same way as the previous forum, however what was a Thread, is now a Category. The benefit of Blogs is that they enable more flexibility, tracking, and subscription options.
- PRIVACY NOTE: If you're a Registered Doctor (RD) or Registered Vendor (RV), you must choose the option "Viewable by Banzai Members Only" when you're publishing a post in order to ensure the highest level of privacy. Choose "viewable by Everyone (Public)" to allow Public access. You will know if you've accessed a Banzai Member Only post or not, because if you're not logged in, you will see a note that reads "You need to be a friend with the blog author in order to read his entries".

My goodness, Adam the majority of retail ODs would welcome a kid who can actually utilize a flange lens (of any kind), but particularly a pan-fundus, or a gonio......with some expertise?
Honestly, I've seen too many "mis-diagnosed" glaucoma over the past 31 years........nearly 100% originated from WallyWorld......or some similar situation where the O.D. was forced to see WAY too many folks in too

What is everyone's thoughts on specular microscopy? I have never thought that I would use that in private practice, but I know others are. I also hear the reimbursement can be quite good. I would love to hear from those who have them and know what they use it for and how often. Thanks!
