Surgical Photography
Nebula of The Eye
First Prize, ASCRS Ophthalmic Photographer’s Society Competition, 2020
This photo of mine won first prize in the category The Eye As Art, entitled "Nebula of the Eye" at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2020.
It depicts the longer postoperative course of ocular tattooing, a procedure performed to improve the cosmesis of an otherwise blind eye or to treat symptoms of glare. The dyes used in the preparation can oxidise over time and may need re-treatment, leaving scattered varying degrees of pigment on the ocular surface.
The Art Of DSAEK Preparation
Honourable Mention, ASCRS Ophthalmic Photographer’s Society Competition, 2020
This photo of mine won an Honourable Mention at the 2020 American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery in the category of Surgical Photography: The Art of DSAEK Preparation.
It demonstrates the preparation of a corneal transplant tissue to treat diseased corneas. Although the technique has evolved in many ways, this technique still remains a fantastic fallback option for extremely sick or complicated eyes, restoring clarity to the ocular media and the ability to see.
Special thanks to Dr Nir Sorkin (Israel) for being the model and muse for this photograph.
The world through my eyes.
Women In Ophthalmology
Dr Trinh is passionate about supporting Women in Medicine and sits on the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists Executive Board for Women in Ophthalmology.
Here she presents a talk about Unconscious Gender Bias and its Impact on Imposter Syndrome in Women as an invited speaker at the Toronto Eye Review 2020.
Unconscious Gender Bias and its Impact on Imposter Syndrome in Women.
It is an analysis of the unconscious way that we, both men and women, exhibit subtle implicit bias on a daily basis and its impact on Impostor Phenomenon in women. We take a deep dive into the medical literature looking at real life and recent examples in Medicine and Ophthalmology.
The aim of the talk was to welcome all individuals to engage in the conversation and begin to instigate real change. It includes practical strategies and methods to empower men and women to make small but tangible changes, en masse, in the hope of achieving meaningful strides to reaching equity.
Grateful for the opportunity to be invited to speak at the Toronto Eye Review 2020.
