In this interview about Oculoplastics Subspecialty Day at AAO 2022, program co-chair Dr. Tom Johnson describes some of the topics covered:
- aesthetics, including lower eyelid rejuvenation using lasers, fillers, and surgery
- blepharoplasty and how to take care of the unhappy patient
- ptosis, and the different methods of performing this surgery using external and internal approaches; pediatric ptosis; and a new technique, frontalis muscle advancement
- thyroid eye disease, including planning treatment (with all the new advancements); timing of the intervention; and the use of new biologics, surgical techniques, and radiation therapy
Dr. Johnson sees similarities between his ice-climbing and his work as an oculoplastics surgeon: Expect the unexpected, plan your best technique, and be prepared to change course and improvise depending on the variables found.
