Spherical aberration is a term often used in ophthalmology and optometry, especially in relation to lens surgeries and intraocular lens design. Recently, IOL manufacturers have been manipulating spherical aberration as a tool to provide a greater range of vision, but rarely explaining the mechanism. Your OATR hosts, Dr Nick Andrew and Dr Ben LaHood, as always, discuss the simple things often overlooked and the complex things often ignored in the eye world. They take a deep dive into spherical aberration of the eye to provide you with a better understanding of an increasingly important topic for ophthalmologists and optometrists.
Saul and Jolene were discussing the Sanity stat in CoC and if any other RPGs used some sort of Sanity stat in games. That lead to Saul and Jolene to think of other games where the mental conditon of the character was kept track. What seemed like would be a short list of games became longer and longer. It seemed that quite a few games included a way of determining the mental state of the character. This surprised both Saul and Jolene. They game used many different ways of decribing and dealing with the mental state of the character but depending on the genre and emphasis of game. Saul and Jolene decided to devote an episode to the subject.

Ophthalmologists are performing cataract and refractive lens exchange surgery in younger patients. One of the major risks that eye care professionals need to inform these patients about is retinal detachment yet the evidence to quote from has been scarce and confusing. How age, axial length, gender, and laser capsuotomy, impact the risk needs to be taken into account. So, your OATR hosts, Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew take a deep dive into the topic to clarify what we should be considering and discussing with our patients before performing lens surgery.

Treating dry eye disease is difficult. Trying to treat dry eye disease based on evidence can seem even harder. Omega-3 fatty acid supplements have been on a rollercoaster of popularity in treating dry eye. Evidence appeared to swing from indicating huge benefit to being similar to placebo. Your hosts, Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew analyse the key studies to unravel all an optometrist or ophthalmologist needs to know about Omega-3 supplements to treat dry eye patients optimally. All this, along with the OATR entertainment you know and love.
Oh, you thought we were finished talking about narrow angles? We were just getting warmed up! In this OATR episode, your hosts Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew provide practical tips on interventions for treating narrow angles. Everything from tips on laser iridotomy to IOL calculation in short eyes. Part of our motto is "the simple things often overlooked" and this is definitely one of those topics that is rarely discussed but can make a huge difference to patient happiness and outcomes.

OATR Season 2 is launched with everything you ever wanted to know about narrow angles. We had a lot to catch up on so if you're short on time, the main topic starts at 28 minutes! We received so many questions about narrow angles and glaucoma, cataract surgery, iridotomies and more that it was time your hosts Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew covered this popular topic, as always with an evidence based approach for optometrists, ophthalmologists and all eye care professionals.
We turn the topics over to our listeners and they have sent in great questions for Jim and Manny to answer and they don’t hold back. From dealing with Building Inspectors to how to price low to high end jobs, to what can trade schools do better when educating for RED Seal, to losing out on the job, to shadowing other contractors, to how to set your pricing and is pricing a constant evolving thing, to clients not willing to pay that final payment, to staying a sole proprietor or make the move to incorporation, to going back in time to our early years in construction and what we would do differently and the same. Manny shares the continuing Toronto Hydro Saga and something interesting came up on site, a construction life lesson regarding book smarts vs on site smarts. And our good friend Nick Andrew sends Jim and Manny a DM over IG as we are recording, just in time to make it into this week’s show and the guys are presented with a great question Nick asks, don’t want to miss this final segment of the show. Lastly, the show ends with Jim and Manny’s perspective on Valentine’s Day, the guys couldn’t be more different. Have a listen to another great show. Thanks to all the listeners for all the great questions.

OATR is back for 2021 and we are kicking things off in style with everyone's favourite topic - astigmatism! There are a lot of rumours, myths and arguments around the topic of residual astigmatism after cataract surgery. Some say it gives a depth of focus; that it may be functionally beneficial; or that you can't do much about it as you should not flip the axis. Well your trusty OATR hosts, Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew are here to consider the evidence and see whether we need to rid the world of residual astigmatism. Listen in to hear the verdict and learn some tips to improve astigmatic outcomes.
Myopia progression is a major concern in the worlds of optometry, ophthalmology and the world in general with a predicted 5 billion people being myopic by 2050. The concern is not just needing glasses, but retinal detachment, myopic macula degeneration and blindness. The evidence for how to slow down myopia progression, especially around atropine dosing has been murky. So your hosts Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew clear up the evidence and discuss why treatment is so important.
It is high time that your Ophthalmology Against The Rule hosts Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew looked at the case for medical marijuana in ophthalmology. The ability of marijuana to lower intraocular pressure is well known but is it ready to be used as a routine glaucoma medication? Let us inhale all the evidence on this controversial topic and present the current and future role of marijuana in eye care.
Your Ophthalmology Against The Rule hosts Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew discuss the latest evidence and their views on refining the outcome of second eye cataract surgery. Modern IOL calculation formulae are very good at predicting a refractive outcome but not yet perfect. Can we improve any further by considering how the first eye responded to surgery? This may seem like a simple question on the surface but there are other issues to consider such as biometry error and IOL manufacturing tolerances. This lively discussion is sure to make you think about how you tackle this scenario and may change your practice.
Your hosts of Ophthalmology Against The Rule, Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew take a deep look at the evidence for and against different wavelength filtering IOL options. Some higher energy wavelengths of light potentially can be detrimental to macula health, cause glare and affect sleep. Available IOL technology now offers surgeons the ability to filter certain wavelengths in the blue and violet spectrum. There are IOL choices out there that could impact the long term ocular health of patients so it is essential to know the facts before permanently implanting an IOL during cataract surgery.
If you have ever wanted to be a fly on the wall during a Nick Andrew Staver Trio rehearsal then this is the episode for you. But you'd be a fly that wasn't capable of hearing music, in this scenario, since we only talked.
In part two of this Ophthalmology Against The Rule miniseries on surgically induced astigmatism (SIA), Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew discuss the practicalities of assessing and calculating SIA for each surgeon. This includes what measures are needed, when to measure and tools to give you all those numbers you read about in the journals.
On this special episode Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew discuss COVID19 for eye care professionals and cover specifically what ophthalmologists and optometrists can do to keep themselves and their patients safe during the pandemic.
The first episode of Ophthalmology Against The Rule podcast. Introducing your hosts Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew, their backgrounds and specialty interests as well as looking at what exciting discussions are coming soon.
What's up y'all. We just got a bunch of snow dumped on us up here in MN. Just shoveled my driveway because I rent a house in the 'burbs. Evan & I go through this week's results, you get a live reaction of the Nick-Andrew finish on MNF, we give an update on playoff hopefuls (and those who fell off of the playoff bubble this week... sorry Ryan). Spoiler: there are 4 teams in the mix for the final 3 spots (Henry, Jay, Quin, Nick). We also give a preview of next week's games aka the last week of the regular season aka "Rivalry Week brought to you by ZipRecruiter". Fantasy playoffs already just around the corner. Man, time sure does fly. Enjoy the moment, folks. Pretty soon it'll be the off-season and these next few drama-infused week's will be 11 months away.

Nick Andrew, a 27 year old filmmaker, is determined to make a feature length documentary titled: I AM WOLF: Lifeblood Of The American Wild. It's an ambitious project that both he and his wife, Bekah, are passionate about. There's one big problem, though. They don't have enough money, Nick's computer gear is old and outdated, and his filmmaking equipment is basic. Will limited funds and basic equipment stop Nick and Bekah from telling the story of the American wolf? This is Nick's story of setting out to produce a feature length documentary of lofty creative aspirations on a barebones budget.

The Nicks take a walk in the dark as the Fellowship continues their journey. A danger in the dark is due to appear at any moment! What are those footsteps? Why can Frodo see in the dark? Why does Nick Andrew hate caves (and his brother)? All this and more in this episode of our read-along of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Maps Map of Middle-earth LoTRproject.com interactive map - Caution: spoilers for new readers! Notes for this episode THIS JUST IN! THE RING IS ON THE MOVE. EAST TOWARD THE MISTY MOUNTAINS, THEN SOUTH… BIRDS SWOOP IN… THE EYES OF THE ENEMY ARE EVERYWHERE! THE PASS OF CARADHRAS. THE REDHORN GATE. THE FELLOWSHIP ATTEMPTS TO CLIMB OVER THE CRUEL MOUNTAIN. SNOW PILED ON. … ... WINDS... WHIPPED. THE HOBBITS? …. FREEZING AFTER BATTLING THE MOUNTAIN FOR LONGER THAN THEY CAN BEAR OUR COMPANY RESIGNS HEADING BACK DOWN THE MOUNTAIN HOW WILL OUR COMPANY HANDLE DEFEAT AND IS THERE ANOTHER WAY? The story in this chapter A rest, what to do? Only options are to go on… somehow Or go back to Rivendell Pippin perks up, Merry and Sam look hopeful Aragorn and Boromir make no sign Frodo troubled. We cannot return without shame, unless there is no other way and we are already defeated. Sam sinks back into his gloom The only other path is through Moria The Gap of Rohan is watched by Saruman, who has turned against the free people and to go south through Gondor will take FAR too long. Moria - more dangerous than the Redhorn Gate? Gandalf thought this might be the way through - Aragorn did not want to go this way at least until they tried the mountain pass. We see Aragorn here being very leader-like and less follower. Giving way to Gandalf. Gandalf is their guide for the time being, not Aragorn. Aragorn has definite opinions (we don’t see this in the movies as much) Gimli becomes interested - all others feel dread - even the hobbits who only know it from legend and vague fear. We can cover our trail and disappear for a little bit. Why not go south past the Gap and over the mountains into Gondor? (Boromir) Things have changed in the Gap The longer road would take WAY too long, it is not safe, and it is watched. Going through Moria would be like going up to the dark lord’s tower itself “The name of Moria is Black.” Gandalf has seen some stuff… he rebutted Boromir with I alone of you have been to The stronghold of Sauron The dungeons of the dark lord Dol Guldur There may be Dwarves in the mines - there might be a warm welcome somewhere inside Who will follow me if I lead you? (Gandalf) “How the wind howls!” -- it's not the wind! Warg attack They think it's done after Gandalf declares himself to them. They come back! First battle scene in our narrative. Gandalf steals the show… HUGE show of force and power. The missing falls and the stairs that go up The curious case of the unexpected lake Stepping in the water and the ripples in the deep Saying goodbye to Bill Repacking for the southward, warming, road Moon letters and drawings - ithildin Durin’s marks The tree of the High Elves The star of the House of Feanor(PIN) Hacking the doors Fear of the water ‘Friend’ and ‘Snakes?’ The door is a riddle Sam is the only one who moves to save Frodo - and is forced to choose Frodo over Bill Everyone quickly gets inside The way back is closed - let us hope the way forward is open. Follow the guiding light Frodo eventually realizes that he can see better in the dark than everyone except Gandalf (even Gimli!) - he/narrator attributes it to stab wound in his shoulder Brief rests and pauses along the way Pitter patter - the faint echo of footfalls. “I have no memory of this place” and the guard room well A rock that takes a long time hit the ground Tom-tap, tap-tom. Tap-tom, tom-tap, tap-tap, tom. Time to head back uphill Long march. Suddenly the walls disappeared - and they are in a vast cavernous room Risk a little real light. Spending the night, at night. Gimli’s song Sam likes it Gimli is gloomy The wealth of Moria was not in gold or jewels but in Mithril Pretty amazing stuff In the morning there is light Through a doorway a tomb Balin son of Fundin / Lord of Moria He is dead. There are no dwarves to welcome them. Gimli draws his hood over his face….

The Nicks discuss Chapter Four of Fellowship - Getting caught in the bogs and thickets, Black Riders, Bamfurlong, Farmer Maggot's dogs, whether Frodo's story mirrors Bilbo's, narrow misses, social status, and traveling in the fog without lanterns. Nicholas Jon sounds like he's hiding from the black riders in a tin can, and tries a looser editing style. Nick Andrew lives in the loudest place possible and tries to imagine Sam's fangirling over the Elves with a real-world example... from his own experience? We'll never know. Maps Map of Middle-earth LoTRproject.com interactive map - Caution: spoilers for new readers! Last time in The Lord of The Rings Frodo inherited the Ring from Bilbo and learned that it is the One Ring and must be destroyed. He sells his house and takes his friends on an adventure through the Shire only to be dogged by a black rider. Some elves take them in for the night and give them the advice to not wait for Gandalf. Where are we in the narrative? Frodo, Sam, and Pippin are still in the Shire making their way to Buckleberry Ferry and then on to Crickhollow, Frodo’s new house. The Elves showed concern for Frodo especially when they heard that the travelers have seen a black rider and Gandalf hasn’t come as promised. Unwillingly the Elves give the advice to move ahead with their plan and not to wait for Gandalf. Notes for this episode The Story in this Chapter: A chance to get to know Hobbits better Thinking at breakfast? Hobbits are supposed to EAT!! Food is their THING. Frodo speaking aloud - sign of the Ring? The change coming over Sam Oracle-esque? Something in his heart/gut tells him that he “has to see it through.” Shortcuts Golden Perch, Ivy Bush, Green Dragon (Most of the buildings mentioned in the Shire are Inns) If you look at the map - the road (trail?) to Woodhall dead-ends. Was Frodo planning to go over the country from the beginning? Pippin - and Hobbit jesting/poking/digging “First check.” Sam saves the company - “You’ve got sharp ears, Sam” Is this a recognition of having spotted the rider Or a request to listen and keep an ear out? Golden Drink (possibly Miruvor as we later learn) - alcohol? stimulant? some other nourishing thing? REDBULL! The first Nazgul cry - “There are words in the cry,” and that was no hobbit voice. The ease at which the Hobbits forget their fear when the Shire does its thing. Bamfurlong is a great bit of LoTR trivia - good to have in your back pocket to show your knowledge - also useful as a substitute curse word when around children. Farmer Maggot How near the miss - Nazgul / Frodo at Farmer Maggot’s Sam’s suspicious nature Dogs response to the Nazgul (movie-book) Maggot tells off a Nazgul - “Back where you belong” - funny because he doesn’t really know what that might mean 14 to dinner - some mirroring to Bilbo? Bilbo had 15 - symbolically could show the incompleteness of the party (Gandalf? Merry? The rest?) Sam’s position showing? - “You & Pippin and all” - “You & Merry (Maggot’s closer friend) and all” Sundown - and they only got to the farm from Woodhall 5+ more miles to the ferry Frodo is anxious - Pippin is drowsy - Sam is watchful “I want Mr. Baggins, have you seen him?” - not as effective in the audio book - frighteningly ambiguous in writing. Other comments or observations: Book pacing Natural divide between character based narrative and descriptive narrative? Fast = action and character? Or Fast = a lack of world description? Slow = A lot of everything? - For Tolkien the physical world is hugely important - character-like - but the characters are not described in much detail. We can see the world, and the people in it, but we can’t see their faces except as we imagine them to be. Some books with different pacing Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan - slow (though starts okay) Belgariad - David Eddings - Quick pace - every chapter moves the story ahead Angels and Demons - Dan Brown - Very fast pace (movie like cuts) Lord of the Rings - Slower very descriptive - minimal character description - not a lot of politic-ing Notable Difference(s) from Films: All of this is missing from the movie Locations/Distance Traveled/Distance apart: The actual distance traveled is probably 20 miles maximum including 5+ by cart. New Characters: Farmer Maggot and his family/household Info/History from Other Titles/Sources: Letter 206 - Funny incident where Tolkien went to a Hobbit Dinner and spoke, and on the menu was “Maggot Soup” which was, of course, mushroom soup named for Farmer Maggot. What to Watch for in the Next Chapter: Next chapter Frodo and all finally make it to Crickhollow - but Frodo needs to leave right away. He will have to tell his friends that he is going, but he doesn’t know how to break it to them.

Last time in The Lord of The Rings Last episode we spoke about Frodo, and how he experienced the chapter as Gandalf laid an almighty hammer blow of scariness. The Dark Lord Sauron is looking for The Ring, and he now knows about the Shire and the name Baggins. Where are we in the narrative? Through dangers untold, and hardships unnumbered, Gandalf has traveled many paths to find the secrets of the Ring that Frodo has inherited. He returns to the Shire to find that, so far, all is well. But danger is closer than Frodo ever thought - it is in his pocket. Gandalf tells his story of how he pieced together the puzzle of the One Ring and how it came to Gollum and thus to Bilbo.

Nick and Nicholas recorded their very first episode, which is conveniently referred to as Episode Zero. This test episode takes us on a journey that will be very rare in the arc of this podcast. We re-cast the Lord of The Rings movie trilogy with the cast and characters of the Harry Potter film series. If you are just now learning who I (Nicholas Jon) am, I recently created a Facebook group for people who wanted to re-read Harry Potter. This "Re-Read Harry Potter" group was fairly popular, and now I am turning my sights on another literary love, Lord of The Rings. Along with my long-time friend Nick Andrew, we want to dive into Middle-earth and explore it from all the angles. In order to tie the two series together (and to be fodder for a test episode) we chose to do this re-cast/mashup of the two fandoms. This is your "heads-up" because - we had so much fun choosing our cast, that we want to give you the chance to make your own! Use the link below to download a PDF of the chart we used to make our episode, and fill it in. Then share it with us as a picture or attachment on Facebook, Twitter, or by e-mail: contact@greendragonlive.com. We really want to see your picks and see what choices you made in your version of the story.
