Welcome to the site   

I am a board-certified ophthalmologist interested in asp.net and vb.net programming.  I have posted some visual studio programs below to the left to help with common ophthalmic calculations.  I occasionally post photos and clinical scenarios from my practice.

Chlorpromazine cataract   
Nice chlorpromazine cataract photo.  There is also a fine golden brown pigment dusting on the corneal endothelial surface.  It's interesting that the pigment dusting is diffuse and covers the endothelium from white to white and it's not in a vertical spindle like in pigment dispersion syndrome.

Phlyctenules and Phacomorphic Glaucoma   
Lots of 'ph' words; I saw two phlyctenules today.  Here'a a photo of the larger one.  The cataractous patient's anterior chamber depth is 2 mm while the fellow eye is 4 mm.

Francois Neetan Dystrophy   
Have a couple of patients with this one, but I've never really gotten a good picture of it.

Travatan eyelash growth   
I see this frequently, but on this patient it is only after a short monocular trial of travatan.  Here are the eyes:  I had to make the photos B/W because the lashes on the left eye are so fine and thin that they can't be seen without the extra contrast.

Follow-up Smokestack Sign   
this patient returned today with a recurrence of his pigment epithelial detachment and I took a higher resolution angiogram to make a larger animated .gif.  It fully resolved last time without treatment.  Funny coincidence that this patient returns just a few days after this one.
