Acute ophthalmic conditions present diagnostic and management challenges. To assist in assessing patients with acute presentations, including retinal ischemia, OMIC Committee member Dr. Gaurav Shah and retina fellow Dr. Alex Boutini of Retina Consultants, Ltd (St. Louis, MO) developed an algorithm called Acute Ophthalmic Presentations. We thank them for allowing us to share this decision tree.

Consider sending this decision tree to Emergency Department physicians at hospitals where you take call.

Six reasons OMIC is the best choice for ophthalmologists in America.

Consistent return of premium.

Publicly-traded insurance companies exist to make profits for shareholders while physician-owned carriers often return profits to their policyholders. Don’t underestimate this benefit; it can add up to tens of thousands of dollars over the course of your career. OMIC has one of the most generous dividend programs for ophthalmologists and has returned more than $90 Million to our members through dividends.
