I get to see my kids finish the school year. That should not feel like a blessing #EndGunViolence

When your mom is a pediatric ophthalmologist. Overheard my 10 year old:. “Dad, I haven’t done any Switch today. I’ll hook it up to the TV so I don’t get nearsighted”. #myopiamanagement #EyeTwitter @aao_ophth @AAPOSeye #Pediatrics.

Excited to see mainstream national attention brought to the myopia epidemic. I've been using myopia management therapies for my patients since 2011. Hopefully this will help make these therapies more known.

Someone told my 8 y/o daughter “No offense but your name is spelled weird”. Her reply? “Offense taken” and “You must not be a game of thrones fan.” Her name is Arya btw #GameOfThrones.

Apparently Lindsey Graham says that eye development is complete by 10 weeks gestation.🤥. As a pediatric ophthalmologist - this is incorrect. The retina of the eye doesn’t fully form until 40 weeks gestational age 👁️ #pediatricophthalmology @AlokPatelMD @NicoleB_MD.

I'm curious are there any health insurance companies in the U.S. that pay for patches for kids with amblyopia?? If you know of one drop it below #ambyopia #ophthalmology @aao_ophth #MedTwitter.

Hawaii is now the 2nd state in the country to offer FREE patches to kids with amblyopia. Honored to have been part of this effort. Link below. @ProjectVisionHI #amblyopia #patches

I showed my 13 yo son this. He said “I don’t get it”. I thought he didn’t understand a certain nuance. But to him it seemed simple. This is not right. How can adults let this happen? #fromthemouthsofbabes.
The average 18 year old can get a firearm faster than an appointment with a psychiatrist. This is a horrific, unchecked problem.

When your former chairman is in the Zoom audience of a talk you're giving and you failed to tell him you were using him as an example 🤪 . Thanks @DrDavidGHunter for stopping by! That's true support. Also included you @ncrawfordmd . @MassGenBrighCPD @MassGenBrigham

I think I can safely say that nothing feels as good as creating that final slide for the presentation you've been procrastinating for months #medtwitter #presentationdesign #procrastination

There are days at work that are hard. Battling for prior authorizations. Explaining to an insurance company why strabismus is a medical issue. And then there are days when I get a text from a mom of a patient completely out of the blue. #medtwitter #pediatrics #Ophthalmology

The largest private insurance carrier in Hawaii just decided that amblyopia is a “vision” diagnosis and denied paying those claims. Really? #amblyopia #Ophthalmology #eyetwitter @AAPOSeye @aao_ophth.

Advice from my psychiatrist mom:. “The fact that you even worry about being a good mom, means that you are. Bad moms don’t have mom guilt”. So, friend - I see you. Let some of that mom guilt go. You are doing a great job. My mom said so. #workingmomguilt #doctormom.
