What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

My brother is an ophthalmologist, and he recommended that I listen to this podcast to prepare for the retina lab I’m going to be working in. I’m a premed super interested in optho, so this podcast is super cool and easy enough for a small fry like me to understand! My brother also loves this podcast and he used it all the time during residency as a way to study during his long car ride commutes. Thank you guys!!

I’m a practicing optometrist and listen daily on the way to clinic. Useful reviews on many conditions, especially less common ones, and I enjoy that these are often accompanied by up to date literature reviews and clinical experiences. It’s like an audio Wills Eye Manual, with hilarious hosts. I also enjoy the random guest topics. I recommend this show all the time to colleagues. You guys are helping eye doctors everywhere, please continue a long time. Thank you!

Erudite, focused, high information content. The speakers are intelligent, well informed, unpretentious, entertaining and have a good sense of humor. I have practiced Oculoplastic Surgery for over 30 years and am grandfathered out of retaking the boards. I am listening to these because they are fun, interesting and bring back and update hardwired Ophthalmology information from my resident days. A+

Very cool podcast reviewing high yield ophthalmology. Particularly useful for written board and OKAP prep. Have listened to many episodes multiple times.
