An important reminder from the Eye Bank Association of America and the American Academy of Ophthalmology about #eyesafety as we head into the July 4th holiday. Here are their 5 tips to protect your #vision! 1. All those lighting fireworks AND bystanders should wear eye protection meeting the criteria set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). 2. If attending a fireworks show, stay at least 500 feet away from where they’re being set off. 3. Do not let children light, handle, or play with fireworks. 4. Also use caution when using sparklers – at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, they can easily cause burns and fires. 5. If you sustain a firework injury to your eye, report immediately to an Emergency Room. Do not rub, rinse, apply pressure, or try to remove any object from your eye.

"Dry eye can have debilitating effects on a patient’s vision and their life, depending on how bad the anterior segment problem gets. As optometrists, we can and should be on the front lines of providing not only vision exams and correction but also vision care. It is emotionally rewarding as well as beneficial for the practice and patients. "In 2017, 2 huge reports made me excited about ocular surface treatment: One was the TFOS DEWS II (Tear Film & Ocular Surface Society Dry Eye Workshop II) report, and the other was CEDARS.2, published by the Cornea External Disease and Refractive Society. These reports were the catalyst for me to incorporate dry eye treatment into my practice. Although it took about 2 years to implement it effectively, it was so successful that we opened a whole new facility focusing solely on dry eye treatment," writes Ryan Beck, OD, in a recent Optometry Times article.

This January, I'm pleased to celebrate the American College of Surgeons Surgeon Well-Being Month, which highlights the critical importance of surgeon health and wellness. At Caresyntax, we recognize that surgeon well-being directly impacts patient outcomes and care quality. Our mission to make surgery smarter and safer is just as focused on supporting surgeons as it is advancing technology. That's why our focus on providing data-driven insights that create a better work environment for surgeons is critical. Our platform can analyze factors that contribute to burnout like extended hours and overloaded OR schedules, then suggest optimizations to improve workflow and capacity. Small changes driven by surgical intelligence can make a huge difference in retaining talented surgeons and reducing fatigue-related risks. During Surgeon Well-Being Month, I encourage surgeons to take advantage of the excellent ACS resources on self-care, stress management, and advocating for systemic changes. When surgeons thrive, patients thrive. Here's to a new year of advancing surgeon wellness! https://lnkd.in/gK4d4Yqt #surgeons #surgical #operatingroom #datadrivensurgery
