Tom,
I RARELY use the fixation device/s during angiography – I strictly use
'voice activation'. Found it works a treat.
In the cases where an external one is needed, I keep my hand on it and
acquire the images with the fellow hand.
I simply tell patients to 'look straight ahead' not at the camera etc.
Have fun,
Ethan

Subject: [optimal] HRA external fixation light
Everyone,
Has anyone come up with a better solution to the external fixation device on
the HRA? Nice machine but the internal & external fixation sometimes doesn’t
work well when you want someone to look in a certain direction and hold that
fixation. Seems like during the pre computer age, the OPS membership had all
kinds of inventions to add or replace on imaging devices. Anyone got a
better mousetrap?
Thank You,

There are many other options for OPS credits: Mid Year meetings, CPMC Dept
of Ophthalmology Meetings, JCAHPO West Coast Meetings, JMC Eye Photo
meetings, to name a few.
CPMC is hosting a Disease and Disorder specific OCT course June 2 here in
San Francisco. JCAHPO just held a meeting in the LA area. With enough
interest, JMC Eye Photo would hold a meeting in Southern California as well.
CPMC also hosts an Annual Current Concepts in Ophthalmology the first
weekend in Dec. This will be our 12th year of doing so. This meeting is
also eligible for OPS credits.
Hope this helps.

Ben,
While the OPS has no control over where the Annual Program is held in
conjunction with AAO, we do have the ability to hold our Mid-Year program
where we'd like to. In 2013 the Mid-Year program will be held in San
Francisco. We'll be sure to announce the exact dates once they are known.
You can see additional information about future programs here:
http://www.opsweb.org/?page=futureprograms
Also, I have been under the impression that Chicago is a nice central
location that has easy flights to get to. Perhaps, you can find a way to
attend the 2011 Annual program with just one flight.
I hope this helps,
Sarah

Hi, A question for the powers that be. The AAO, thus the OPS, will not be on
the West Coast for some time to come. 5 units of the total 15 must be from
OPS or OPS approved classes. Some of us may not want to part with the $$$ to
go cross country to attend the meeting. So we get to take online classes
that are a total waste of time. Is it possible that in the years that there
is no West Coast OPS stuff that attending more informative retina meetings
or the like be o.k. for the remaining 5 units just like they are o.k. for
the first 10 units ? Could this change be made ? Thanks, Ben Serar
