Focus on Waste Within the Healthcare Sector |
The cover of the September issue of JCRS showcases the word ‘WASTE’ in capital letters formed from garbage bags. Thomas Kohnen, MD, PhD, FEBO, co-editor of JCRS, writes in a letter from the editor that “given the global volume of cataract surgical procedures, the environmental footprint of our field must be considered.” One resource Dr. Kohnen points to in his editorial is the newly formed EyeSustain, which seeks to provide information and education on the topic of sustainability within ophthalmology. EyeSustain was introduced at the 2022 ASCRS Annual Meeting as a global coalition of eye societies and ophthalmologists collaborating to make ophthalmic care and surgery more sustainable. Check out the EyeSustain website for more information and learn how to get more involved here. |
