Just finished the Retina cases conference (3.5 hours) at the North Carolina Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons annual meeting. It had to be on zoom because of Covid but we had a good time anyway. I had close to 40 physicians on the call with 11 presentations of very interesting cases. A lot of lively discussions and ideas were passed around. What a great time for us to meet and brainstorm on these difficult problems. The more we do this the better we get at solving problem for patients. DrV.

Ok, anyone tired of hearing about this topic yet? I know I am. But here goes with hopefully some good information that I have gleaned from CDC and other sources. Risk: Currently thought to be low but the infection rate is climbing and has not hit the peak just yet. This virus is highly contagious and is transmitted by droplets in the air and touching.
