Eye injuries can be severe and quite painful. They are even worse when you can not get medical attention due to being in a remote area of the world and may even prove life threatening in such an situation. This month Scott Kendal was kind enough to discuss a very well written paper that talks about multiple types of eye injuries and what to do with them when you are in such an austere environment. The paper he discussed can be found here:
Scott was also kind enough to put together a review from that paper. If you would rather read Scott’s summary instead of the entire paper, that can be found from this link:
Please join us next month on August 12th when Dan Zeccola will enlighten us on a topic of his choosing. The location shall be announced soon as well.
