Our podcast guest is Dr David Gunn who is a corneal, cataract, and refractive surgeon in Brisbane, Australia and I admire his drive to push himself to learn new, advanced surgical techniques. And he accomplishes this by initially learning from surgical videos - the CataractCoach way! (Which I learned from the Godfather of surgical videos, Dr Bob Osher.) He decided that he wanted to learn the CAIRS (Corneal Allogenic Intrastromal Ring Segments) technique pioneered by Dr Soosan Jacob and he then created a free planning tool at CairsPlan.com so that you can learn too.

Our guest is Professor David Granet who reveals the mind-blowing speed of AI development in medicine, noting 50 new developments occurred in less than a month. There is a 100% certainty that AI will change your ophthalmology career and you need to prepare for that. Patients are already engaging with AI using it for everything from understanding diagnoses and procedure options to insurance claims. However, the adoption of this technology introduces critical legal and ethical challenges, creating a potential no-win scenario where physicians could be held liable both for using or not using AI, compounded by the lack of regulation for software updates.
