Patient education is the key to informed consent. At The New York Eye Cancer Center, we make every possible effort to show patients what is going on in, around and behind the eye. This means their eye photographs, intraocular images and radiographic scans (MRI and CT) are viewed on 55" ultra-high definition screens in each examination room. For example, patients and doctors see before and after treatment images. Dr. Finger uses the patient's actual tumor images to explain likely results of treatment. Months to years later, when the patient says "I remember you showing me that!" is the best possible patient education response.
