What the Fundus

What the Fundus

Michael Marino, OD, FAAO

This blog has been an off-and-on affair for me. However, in 2023, after a few decades in practice, I decided to complete the requirements to become a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry. I accomplished that goal by writing five case reports and taking the oral exam in 2024. Writing those case reports inspired me to continue reading papers and writing about what I read. I hope you find this informative.
