It is available for both Apple and Google Play technology and is free. The Mass. Eye Ear Infirmary Manual and The Wills Eye Manual Although some ophthalmologists may prefer their print copies of these standby manuals, their respective apps can save some paper and heavy lifting. Both The Mass. Eye Ear Infirmary Manual (Skyscape Medpresso) and The Wills Eye Manual (Skyscape Medpresso) contain the same information as each respective print copy, including office and emergency room diagno- sis, flow charts, and treatments for various eye diseases. "Certain doctors who travel between multiple offices may prefer this over the print editions," Dr. Wang said. Both apps are available on Apple and Google Play. The apps are free but provide only about 10% of the content. By tapping on a locked topic, users launch the in-app purchase screen. The cost of the pay version is about the same as the cost of each respective printed manual. Parks Three Step Named after the commonly used Parks Three- Step Test, the Parks Three Step app was designed by Todd Zarwell, OD, and is "used to isolate the paretic muscle in acquired verti- cal diplopia," according to the app description online. "Enter your observations for each of the three tests, and the app will suggest which [ex- traocular muscle] is underacting," according to the app description. That said, in its description, eye doctors are urged to use their own clinical prowess instead of using the app to fully make their clinical decisions. "Instead of having to draw out and dia- gram the muscles, as I have previously done, this app does it for you so you can quickly isolate the affected muscle," Dr. Wang said. The Parks Three Step app is available via the Apple store and is free. continued from page 58 Relevant financial interests Aizuss: None Richard: None Wang: None STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, AND CIRCULATION Publication title: EyeWorld; publica- tion number: 1089-0084; filing date: 9/2019; frequency: monthly; num- ber of issues published annually: 12; annual subscription price: $120; publisher: American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 4000 Legato Rd, Suite 700, Fairfax, VA 22033; managing director: Stacy Jablonski, 4000 Legato Rd, Suite 700, Fair- fax, VA 22033; owner: American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
