On this episode of the JVRD Author’s Forum podcast, Dr. John Thompson, JVRD associate editor-in-chief, discusses ‘The Economics of Emergency Retinal Surgery and Declining Access to Care,’ published in the January/February 2025 issue of JVRD.
Host Dr. Timothy Murray and Dr. Thompson discuss 5 manuscripts published in JVRD that evaluate the economics of retina care and portend an impending crisis for access to emergency surgical retinal care. The research shows that hospitals and surgery centers are losing money on retinal detachment repair, leading many to limit emergency cases. As a result, more patients are being funneled to academic centers, which can create barriers to timely care. Drs. Murray and Thompson explore the increasing reliance on academic centers for emergency cases and the need for policy changes to maintain high-quality retinal care.
