WAIKOLOA, Hawaii — In this Healio Video Perspective from Hawaiian Eye 2026, Andrew G. Lee, MD, discusses best practices for “setting the bar” and avoiding malpractice in neuro-ophthalmology.
“There is a literal bar separating you from the jury, the judge, the defendant and the attorneys,” he said during a presentation. “You need to choose which bar you want to be at: The bar with neuro-op or the bar with lawyers.”
In this exclusive Healio Video Perspective, Andrew G. Lee, MD, discusses best practices for avoiding malpractice in neuro-ophthalmology.
Lee said a proper differential diagnosis is imperative for neuro-ophthalmologists.
“The top of the differential is always, ‘What is worst thing on this list?’” he told Healio. “Because common things are common, the first thing on the list is actually the second thing on the list. To avoid getting to the wrong bar, make sure worst is first and first is second.”
