Hi all,
I was hoping someone could offer me some advice. I am starting my second year of ophthalmology residency this upcoming July and I still feel like I am confused and struggling with diagnosis and management of cases in clinic. My program strongly emphasizes the BCSC series so I've read the books multiple times but it doesn't seem to be translating into clinical knowledge.
For instance, the BCSC glaucoma book may give a list of risk factors for POAG but doesn't go into sufficient depth regarding day to day clinical management (i.e. determining a target IOP, glaucoma progression, visual field severity criteria or myopic discs vs GON), or for example in retina, when should I try avastin over steroids or focal laser for DME or CRVO/BRVO related macular edema? I know I need to start reading other sources, but I'm not sure where to start. Ideally, I would like a source geared toward a resident/general ophthalmologist that focuses on the day to day practical management of various bread and butter topics. Does anyone have any suggestions?
