OphthalmologyVision-lossPlaintiff-side

Built for glaucoma + RD + endophthalmitis cases.
AI deposition trainer with AAO PPP + EVS depth.

Ophthalmology medmal cases concentrate around missed glaucoma (partial workup), retinal detachment recognition delay, post-cataract endophthalmitis, anti-VEGF injection complications, and LASIK ectasia. AAO Preferred Practice Patterns + EVS + ASRS define the floors.

Why a ophthalmology-specific trainer matters

Ophth cases turn on documented multimodal workup (IOP + disc + VF + OCT for glaucoma), same-day exam for new floaters/flashes, and within-hour intravitreal antibiotics for post-cataract endophthalmitis. The "IOP was always normal" defense collapses against the AAO PPP requirement for multimodal glaucoma diagnosis.

The 8 failure modes

Sev 10

Retinal detachment recognition delay

New floaters/flashes/curtain not seen same day; macula-off RD.

"We scheduled her for the next day."
Sev 10

Post-cataract endophthalmitis recognition

Post-op pain + decreased vision + hypopyon; intravitreal antibiotics delayed.

"I told her to use the steroid drops more frequently."
Sev 9

Missed glaucoma — IOP/OCT not done

At-risk patient; no documented VF or OCT.

"Her IOP was always normal."
Sev 9

Anti-VEGF complication — consent gap

Intravitreal injection complication (endophthalmitis/RD/vit-hem) not named in consent.

"I always discuss injection risks in general terms."
Sev 9

Papilledema — no urgent neuro workup

Papilledema without urgent MRI + LP.

"Her discs looked a little swollen — I asked her to come back."
Sev 9

NAT retinal hemorrhages — no reporting

Multilayered retinal hemorrhages in child; no CPS report.

"I didn't want to make a CPS call without being sure."
Sev 8

LASIK complications

Ectasia/dry eye/halos not specifically discussed; thin cornea or pre-existing dry eye still operated.

"Her topography was borderline."
Sev 8

Diabetic retinopathy screening failure

Diabetic patient without documented annual dilated exam + DR grading.

"I don't always dilate her every year."

The signature impeachment trap

"IOP was always normal" vs documented full glaucoma workup

Lock the witness into "her IOP was normal," then juxtapose against the AAO PPP requirement that glaucoma diagnosis is multimodal (IOP + disc + VF + OCT).

"Her IOP was always normal?" → "Yes."
"Glaucoma can be present with normal IOP — normal-tension glaucoma?" → "Yes."
"The AAO PPP calls for visual field and OCT, not IOP alone?" → "Yes."
"Your chart does not document a VF or OCT in the [N] years before her advanced field loss."

Why this lands: witness has framed a partial workup as a complete one.

FAQ

Why does ophthalmology need its own deposition trainer?

Ophth cases turn on documented multimodal workup (glaucoma) and within-hour escalation (endophthalmitis). The AAO PPP, EVS, and ASRS are real published floors.

What guidelines does the AI cite?

AAO Preferred Practice Pattern: POAG, EVS + AAO PPP Endophthalmitis, AAO PPP Diabetic Retinopathy.

Does it work for defense expert prep?

Yes. Expert-prep mode against your defense ophthalmologist.
