Ophthalmology for the Non-Ophthalmologist with Dr. Jennifer Grin
Episode 25
Thursday, 30 April, 2026
In this episode, we talk with ophthalmologist Dr. Jennifer Grin about a practical, high-yield approach to evaluating eye complaints, documenting findings, and knowing when to urgently refer. The conversation covers a breakdown of an “easy eye exam” any clinician can do from starting with visual acuity as the eye’s vital sign to realistic expectations for the fundus exam. Dr. Grin reviews warning signs such as sudden vision loss, abnormal pupils, flashes/floaters with a curtain (retinal detachment), and concerning trauma. She also highlights common pitfalls like mislabeling serious diseases like conjunctivitis, missing open globe injuries, and prescribing topical steroids or anesthetics without a clear diagnosis.
