Scheimpflug Science
This Scheimpflug device from Oculus is widely used for corneal topography.
What is the Pentacam?
This refractive surgery procedure reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser.
What is PRK?
This Harvard Business Review article challenges readers to apply their best thinking not only to their careers but also to their personal lives.
What is 'How Will You Measure Your Life?
This corneal condition, diagnosed with tools like the Pentacam, can progressively impair vision if left untreated.
What is keratoconus?
What is the ERAS tour?
This multivariate index integrates 9 parameters anterior and posterior elevation with pachymetry and is a key screening tool for keratoconus.
What is the Belin‐Ambrósio Enhanced Ectasia Display (BAD‐D)?
In PRK, this antimetabolite is applied intraoperatively to help prevent corneal haze.
What is mitomycin C (MMC)?
Christensen encourages you not to reserve your best business thinking solely for your career but also for this other important aspect of your life.
What is your personal life?

This postoperative complication, which can reduce visual clarity, is measured using corneal densitometry.
What is corneal haze?
In the article, Christiansen says this trait is associated with high self esteem.
What is humility?

What is fluorometholone?
According to Frederick Herzberg—and echoed by Christensen—the most powerful motivator isn’t money but the chance to do this.
What is the opportunity to learn and grow?
Just as precise topographic indices guide keratoconus diagnosis, Christensen believes having this can guide your life decisions
What is a clear purpose?
This is the team that Corey's grandmother rooted for.
Denoting the maximum steepness of the cone, this parameter is defined as the smallest radius of axial corneal curvature.
What is Rmin?
The Hashemi study used this rigorous trial design where neither participants nor examiners knew the treatment assignments.
What is a double-masked (double-blind) randomized clinical trial?
Christensen warns that without a clear purpose, you’re like a boat adrift – without this essential guiding element
