Knock Knock, Hi! with the Glaucomfleckens

In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I share my picks for the top 5 most impractical glasses in pop culture history, from Morpheus’s infamous clip-ons to Scrooge McDuck’s precarious specs. I also reflects on the continued use of virtual residency interviews in 2024, weighing their pros and cons for applicants, and gives a shout-out to the lively fans in Pittsburgh after a memorable live show. Wrapping up, I address insightful comments on pediatric eye health from listeners. Join me for a fun, eye-opening discussion on eyewear in film, medical training, and more.

Takeaways:

The Continued Shift to Virtual Residency Interviews: Dr. Flannery explores why many residency programs have stuck with virtual interviews post-pandemic, weighing the financial and logistical benefits for applicants.

Cost Savings for Applicants: Virtual interviews alleviate the significant financial burden of in-person interviews, which often require flights, hotels, and transportation, saving applicants thousands of dollars.

The Drawbacks of Going Virtual: While virtual interviews offer convenience, Dr. Flannery acknowledges the challenges applicants face in gauging a program’s culture and the city’s lifestyle without visiting in person.

Top Impractical Movie Glasses: From Morpheus’s clip-on glasses to Scrooge McDuck’s floating specs, Dr. Flannery shares his picks for the five most impractical eyewear choices in cinema.
