EyeCan

EyeCan: A Canadian lens on ophthalmology. In this series, we examine all aspects of what it means to be an Ophthalmologist in Canada; we speak with leaders in our field about their contributions and life journey; we explore new and emerging techniques and technologies in eye care. Through it all we hope to connect with our community and have those that listen understand the value of who we are and what we do for our patients. We’ll share our experiences as ophthalmologists today and tackle some of challenges we face as healthcare providers. Hosted by Dr. Guillermo Rocha and Dr. Setareh Ziai (seasons one and two), and Dr. Mona Dagher and Dr. Hady Saheb (seasons 3 and 4). Brought to you by the Canadian Ophthalmological Society. Seasons 1 and 2 of the EyeCan podcast were sponsored by MD Financial’s Affinity Grant. Seasons 3 and 4 are sponsored by Bayer. Written and directed by Kim Tytler and produced by John Allaire of Allaire Strategic Works.
