I think most of Dr Lee’s lectures are meant for doctors, especially residencies in ophthalmology. Thank you for your clear explanation Sir. You’re a great Neuro-ophthalmologist.
Thank you for this video Dr. Lee! I am being treated for glaucoma. Your video goes into a number of aspects of glaucoma I have not been told before. I found your video doing my own research on it.
The cupping theory was mistakenly introduced in the 1850s. One hundred years later, instead of confirming the cupping theory, we introduced a cup-to-disc ratio parameter which inferred that the original (birth) cups begin enlarging as the disease progresses. However, the original cups of various sizes from 0.00 to 0.9 are actually the central meniscus of Kuhnt (fibrous remnants of Bergmeister’s papilla) which lie superficially on the nerve fiber layer of the disc, and have no relevance to chronic glaucoma. There is no cupping occurring in this disease. The lamina cribrosa is sinking resulting in peripheral-to-central axotomy of nerve fibers at the scleral edge.
Thank you. I've just seen a new opthamologist, first one in 3 years and lost visual field in the time and she's sending me for an MRI to rule out other things...does anyone know what the other things are? I was nervous to ask at the appointment
This content is for doctors. He is doing perfect presentations. If you something "more simple" then its not your level - go and find something different. Before commenting think first if its a problem with you/your knowledge/ level of English etc ... HE IS BRILLIANT!!!!
@@Itsonly1KM - I disagree and Ira is not being rude, but he is blunt and that in my opinion is a big difference. RU-vid presenters should not make videos just for the general public. I am not a medical professional by any means, but after reviewing my recent eye exam report and what the Ophthalmologist said to me there are discrepancies. One of Dr. Lee's other videos made me understand that there is a likelihood I will need to see a retinal specialist and/or neuro-ophthamologist, but I am consulting with my optometrist and neurologist first, due to the fact the ophthalmologist down played my vision issues. His practice is designed as low risk due to the fact the majority of his clients are retirees. If he screws-up nobody will care, due to the facts of age combined with health conditions.
