Thank You, Vit Buckle Society 2025! A big thank you to the organizers and program committee of the Vit Buckle Society 2025 meeting for inviting me to join the debate panel on office vitrectomy alongside the incredibly talented Alia Durrani. Of course, Alia was going to be a tough competitor—destined to win by a large margin! ?? But I’m proud to say that 25% of the audience recognized what is already happening right now in ophthalmic surgery thanks to my pioneering efforts: The shift away from hospitals and ASCs to Office-Based Surgery (OBS) is not just a theoretical concept—it’s a reality. And I am living proof of that. My first 600 sequential cases are the largest and first case series of full-scale vitrectomy performed in an office operating room in the USA. This accomplishment is something I’m incredibly proud of, and I will continue to advocate for the merits of office-based retina surgery. Together, if we can come around to this vital concept, we can expand access to care across the world. We can bring complex surgery to anywhere, any place, and do it safely and effectively. This is about supporting our patients and making sure they have every right to world-class care and removing traditional roadblocks seen in hospitals and ASCs. Thank you again, Vit Buckle Society, for providing the platform to discuss this exciting evolution in ophthalmic surgery. Looking forward to more conversations that push our field forward!

?? Viewer Discretion Advised: This post contains medical educational content, including surgical procedures. It is intended for ophthalmologists, surgeons, and healthcare professionals only. "Doc, you gave me new life!" Imagine a patient with hand motion vision - severe enough that pre-operative imaging was impossible. No retina photos, no OCT, no biometry. In a traditional setting, this case would have been riddled with uncertainty, guesswork, and limitations. But not in our office-based surgical center at Coastal Eye. #OBS Because we operate in an advanced, technology-driven OBS setting, I had the flexibility and autonomy to do something unheard of in a hospital or ambulatory centers: ?? In the middle of the procedure, we moved the patient from the OR table to the biometer to obtain precise measurements—something that traditional protocols would never allow. Why settle for an educated guess when I could ensure the most accurate refractive outcome possible? Hand motion pre-op does not demand less of us as surgeons. ? The result? The patient is now seeing 20/25 and at his post-op visit, in near tears he said, “Doc, you gave me new life!” ?? ?? This is the power of innovation, autonomy, and putting patients first. This is why office-based cataract removal is the future. In a hospital or ASC, rigid protocols - usually created by administrators, not surgeons - would have prevented this level of common sense, patient-first care. Being the captain of my own ship allows me to make real-time, patient-driven decisions without unnecessary roadblocks. And THIS is how we push the boundaries of what’s possible in ophthalmology.
