Want to hear about the eye?

This website is dedicated to learning about the eye (ophthalmology and optometry) using audio talk shows.  Here you’ll find the best collection of free downloadable podcasts on ophthalmology and optometry topics.  Perfect for the medical or optometry student on the go!

The Latest Episodes:

  • Episode 1: The Basic Eye Exam
    Runtime: 63 minutes.

    The initial episode explains the motivation behind audio teaching. Topics covered include vision checking, pupil (the swinging light test), pressure, EOMs, confrontational fields, slit-lamp exam, and the dilated eye exam.

  • Episode 2: Eye Anatomy
    Runtime: 53 minutes.

    The 2nd episode discussed basic eye anatomy of the globe. This includes the anatomy of the cornea, iris, lens, retina, and optic nerve … among other structures covered. I’ve attempted to keep this short and relevant to students (medical and optometry students especially).

Who has time for reading?

Your time is valuable … and you only have a small amount of time that you can sit in front of a computer for learning.

However, you probably have a lot more time when you could be “listening” to educational programs.  That’s where this site comes in … you can listen to our free educational programming while you:

  • Drive to Work
  • Excercise at the gym
  • Clean the House

The best part … most of our programs are accessible and completely free. You can stream them directly from this website or download the podcast mp3 versions to your phone or other mobile devices for when you’re running around. Talk about convenience … Eye Talk Radio is pretty awesome if you ask us!

As you can tell … this website is still under construction. The content and layout are still being created, but should be pretty cool. Over the next few months you should see:

1. Several episodes of “Eye Basics 101”
2. Pilot episode for “Two Eye Guys”
3. Instructions for subscribing to the podcast versions

If you’d like to hear when this site goes live, you should sign up to my email newsletter here.

Thank you for your patience!
Tim Root

Great resource! Thank you!



Comment by Wallace — September 28, 2013



please tell me what this symptom means. my mother can look in the mirror with both eyes and she knows who it is, but if she covers one eye she is unable to recognize the person there. please help me



Comment by barbara — September 28, 2013



Barbara, it sounds like your mother has very poor vision in one eye. There are so many things that can cause this … there is no way to diagnose this online.

Please take your mother to an eye doctor right away so someone can figure out what’s wrong.

I am so glad to have been informed of this website. I am a third year medical student interested in ophtho and we don’t get any didactics in the field and so the internet is the best place for lectures and this is a gold mine of a resource. I am trying to find the audio flash cards and depending on the price may want to purchase them. where can I find those ?

Thanks



Comment by Hussein Baradia — October 4, 2013



you refer to an “extras” section on the website in your book to answer the flash card review questions. i cannot find it there. what am i doing wrong? please help. thank you. thomas.



Comment by thomas silvetti — October 14, 2013



Thomas,
I’ve changed the layout/navigation for the website since I wrote ophthobook. You’ll find the extras here and the flashcard review questions here.

Hi Dr. Root very nice work congratulations! I was wondering if you could also talk about the charting like in a table or timeline form on how to keep track of the different diagnosis? is that something that is possible?

Comment by ahmad sohail tabesh — October 9, 2014



excellent …



Comment by Dr Ravindra — November 1, 2014



Dr. Root, I recently visited an eye doc and had my eyes dilated. My right eye distance vision had changed from 2.25 to .75 He said it could be due to a cataract that made it change and I asked if he could see a cataract. He said no, but he wanted me to come back in a month to see if it stabilized or still changing. I was skeptical that he couldn’t see a cataract and seemed to be planning for surgery in the future. I would like your input on whether or not a cataract can be there without being visible to the doctor. thank you



Comment by Lynn Lewman — November 21, 2014



Lynn: a big refractive shift like yours is often indicative of a cataract. It sounds like your doctor is doing the right thing … basically, not pushing you toward surgery and not over-stating your cataract “appearance.” The other possibility for a refractive shift is some kind retinal problem that is pushing your retina forward. Ask your doctor about your retina when you see them again.



Comment by Timothy Root, M.D. — December 8, 2014



Hi Dr Root, do you know when you will next be publishing new content to your website?



Comment by Sun — December 23, 2014



Dr. Root, I love all of your educational materials. I especially like these audio podcasts as I can listen to them while I walk my dog or go to the gym. I really wish there more!! Just wanted you to know that there’s demand and they’re very much appreciated. As an aspiring ophthalmologist, I truly thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. Also, what happened to the audio flash cards? Would love to listen to those. Best, Jason — MS3



Comment by Jason — January 19, 2015



nice job , I am junior ophthalmologist
your material makes things easier for me



Comment by nightowl — January 31, 2015



How can I get more radio topic?



Comment by Hu yanxia — February 9, 2015



Don’t know if you have covered this topic, but wanted to know if HSV dendrites can be seen with woods lamp or if these lesions can only be seen with slip lamp.
thanks



Comment by Jon — February 19, 2015



It’s a wonderful learning site. I learnt ophthalmology exclusively from your learning resources. I couldn’t pay by then but thanks to Tim Root for your free video lectures and book, that i am not only supporting myself but helping others. I will always be thankful to you. I have passed my exams just because of you and I am now earning quite a good sum to support many poor students. All the credit goes to you. Thanks once again Tim Root.



Comment by Abdullah — April 5, 2015



LOVE your retinoscopy videos!! I am studying for my COT and starting to work in a peds practice and retinoscopy has ALWAYS scarred me! You made it very easy to understand! THANK YOU



Comment by Shane — August 19, 2015



I would love updates!



Comment by jamie burch — November 3, 2015



Dr Root, I have really enjoyed your audio lecture about the eye anatomy. Am currently practicing as a refractionist and would be very happy to learn more about refractive errors and their corretions and how to treat amblyopia. Thanks.



Comment by rabecca — January 31, 2016



Hi Dr.Root
I love what your doing. Especially the podcast/ radio bit. I can only find 2 episodes though. Do I need to subscribe to the premium content to get the rest?
Many thanks



Comment by Yahya — September 22, 2016



Would love more of these podcasts. Kindly notify me when you have put out more of these
