During cataract replacement, the most common surgical procedure in the country, the lens is removed and replaced with an artificial one called an intraocular lens or IOL.

In order for a person to see clearly, the light coming into the eye must be focused on the retina. The main focusing elements in the eye are the cornea and the lens.

The neuro lectures are longer than the rest of the videos here at OphthoBook. Thats because there is a lot of conceptual theories involved, and I wanted to slow down and walk through this material at a managable rate.

Hi Dr Tim,

Youre amazing, these videos are tops. Youll be happy to know you have quite a following among med students in sunny Queensland Australia.

Just noticed ? small typo at 24.30 neuro video 2 (Adies syndrome). PSNS constricts so with Adies pupil should dilate not quite clear on the slide but youre talking about dilated pupils so Im sure anyone whos listening would get your drift (probably just a good way to check were still thinking, eh?)

Thank you so much for your hard work. Youve put together a great resource.

Cheers, Helen

Hey these videos are great! you are an amazing techer

picked up a little error in the 2nd neuro video

the slide on Adies pupil says that the pupil would be constricted when it should say it would be dilated. It is however correctly described in the audio.

Thanks for these videos

2 check-ins

I've been under Dr. Lorenzo's care since 2006 and she is the best. Even when I was living outside the U.S. I would make it a point of scheduling my check ups when I was back in town. She is thorough in a way that gives you relief in that you know if there's an issue with your health, she will catch it early and faster than anyone else around. And everything she sees during the exam, she let's you know and takes the time to expound as much as you want. I never feel like she is rushing. And she makes for the best conversation - so smart. On one visit she put me onto Hawaii and the Hawaii Revealed guidebooks which made for the best honeymoon. And on this last visit we talked food. Seems weird to mention, but I find that the best doctors have a great manner that puts you at ease and help you trust them so they can do the best job they can.

And Corinne is just as wonderful when she gets the exam going and the conversation started. They make a great team.

"The reason why I give Dr. Yim 5 rating. In 2005 I visit Dr. Yim for an eye appointment. I didn't realize that my life would change forever, during my eye examination Dr. Yim spotted hemorraging in the back my eyes, Dr. Yim checked my pressure and realized that it was tremedously high. He insisted that I immediately goto the hospital. I said to myself an eye doctor doesn't know anything. I took his advice and went to the hospital. Thank god I made that decision to go because when I reached the hospital my pressure elevator so high that I had 3 strokes and kidney failure I was in a coma for 6 months and I couldn't walk, talk for 3 years. Inever imagned an eye doctor saving ones life, but Dr. Yim did. I'm so grateful and thank Dr. Yim for saving my life. Dr Yim your the best opthalmogist. I reccomend anyone seeking an eye doctor will choose you. I'll never forget, Dr. Yim saved my life. Dr. Yim keep up the good work and god bless you. Stacey Atins - 4/7/13"

"A Success Story"

I will always be greatful to God for working through the skilled hands and brilliant mind of Dr. Victor Joe Yim to restore my eyesight. My case looked very bleek and severe due to the blindness in my right eye. Dr. Yim could not see the back of my right eye. I know God heard our prayers for a miracle. Dr. Yim did the surgery on Thursday, June 18, 2013 and removed the (tape) bandages on the next day, June 19 and Ive been enjoying 20/20 vision ever since. Thank you, Dr. Yim for your gifts to the world!!

The University of Maryland School of Medicine established the first department for diseases of the eye in the United States in 1873. Since then, the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Scienceshas played an integral part in the school's curriculum. This dedication to better sight for all has led to many research and surgical innovations, including the creation of the modern-day ophthalmoscope and the first surgery to correct strabismus.

It was a professor at the school, George Frick, who wrote "A Treatise on Diseases of the Eye" in 1824. The first book on ophthalmology by an American author, it immediately became the "bible" for those teaching in the field. Today's faculty continue to maintain high profiles as experts in the visual sciences, as evidenced by their continuous funding in this extremely competitive specialty.

Faculty from the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences are involved in the education of students from their very first year of med school through residencies, fellowships and beyond. This instruction is primarily hands-on, giving student early exposure in dealing with the patient population.

As we strive to improve the services we provide to the community, we continue to place a special emphasis on communication with our patients, our colleagues and the citizens of Maryland. Please contact us with your questions regarding the latest treatments for ophthalmic disease or for information about our research endeavors, open faculty positions or training opportunities.

In fact it is hardly possible to over-estimate its value in ophthalmology.

Retina and Retinal Disorders

The retina is a layer of tissue present in the interior of your eye. Retina disorders are mainly due to lack of light-delicate cells and other nerve cells which transform the impulse into visual information. Retina sends this visual data to the cerebrum through your optic nerve and process the information into an image and empowering you to see. Different age group generations, races and ethnicities are effected from Retinal degenerative disorders, for instance, Age-related macular degeneration and myopic macular degeneration.

Pediatric Ophthalmology

Pediatric ophthalmology is a sub-branch of ophthalmology associated with eye ailments, visual functions, and vision care in kids. The pediatric ophthalmologist gets further training to provide supervision to young patients. Neurologic improvement of vision happens up until around age 12 years. Misalignment of the eyes (strabismus), uncorrected refractive mistake (nearsightedness, hyperopia, and astigmatism), and asymmetry of refractive errors between the two eyes can contrarily influence this advancement. If these conditions not treated on time than it will affect the vision permanently. Pediatric ophthalmologists are eligible to perform ocular surgery along with the management of childrens eye diseases with glasses and pharmacological approach.

Ophthalmology Surgery

Translational Ophthalmology is a latest trend that bridges the gap by achieving breakthrough discoveries to patients faster than ever. Translational Research is a new initiative of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) which aims to translate basic research into more advanced form to yield the better results. The research trend discoveries maximize the opportunities to investigate the issues very minutely to decrease the risk of failure especially during surgical procedure like cataract and refractive surgery. Many fruitful facts have been discovered which indirectly helps in treating the respective conditions such as Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) proved that nutritional supplements (nutrition and ophthalmology) could minimize the risk of AMD. The American Health Assistance Foundation, dedicated to eradicating age-related degenerative diseases, estimates that up to 11 million people in the United States have some form of AMD - a number expected to double by 2050. Estimates of the global cost of visual impairment AMD causes are $343 billion, including $255 billion in direct health care costs, according to the foundation. Ophthalmology represents 18 percent of the average case volume in surgery centers, second behind GI/endoscopy (25 percent). The average surgery center performs 4,869 cases annually, which would average to around 876 ophthalmology cases annually, according to VMG Health's 2009 Intellimarker.

Cornea & Corneal Diseases

The cornea is the transparent exterior part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and foremost chamber. The cornea, with the front chamber and lens, refracts light, with the cornea representing around 66% of the eye's aggregate optical force. Corneal diseases, for example, corneal ulceration, epithelial keratitis and drug-induced epithelial keratitis, corneal degeneration, repetitive corneal disintegration and different corneal issue can influence the cornea and at last prompt the external eye disease that could wind up with perpetual visual impairment.

Glaucoma: Visual Field Loss

The damage of the optic nerve due to high intraocular pressure causes the glaucoma and if it is untreated than it will progresses to vision loss with the initiation of unobserved blind spots at the edges of visual field followed by tunnel vision and finally to blindness. The causes of glaucoma include optic nerve damage along with the several underlying causes which are unknown. According to world health organization (WHO) glaucoma is the 2nd major cause of blindness across the globe.
