As you’ve no doubt worked out — given the ongoing flurry of case-based Q and A’s centering on ophthalmological disorders — August is awful eye irritation, exasperation and enigmatic equivocation month at LitFL.
Among the resources I’ve been using to create these posts are the excellent atlas of eye images at tedmontgomery.com and the uber impressive RootAtlas.com. In particular, I highly recommend this endlessly entertaining and enlightening eye trauma lecture from Dr Tim Root, which features fantastic clinical videos and is packed full of useful pearls:
