CataractCoach PodCast 48: Johnny Gayton MD

Episode 48,   Feb 25, 10:00 AM

Dr Johnny Gayton has an incredible drive and passion which he combines with persistent hard work to truly excel at many fields. He is a true pioneer in cataract surgery and he shared his techniques of piggyback IOLs, lensectomy for treatment of narrow angles, and moving from superior to temporal incisions. He is proof positive that a great work ethic and strong determination are the keys to success. He applied those same principles to become a world class powerlifter in his 50s and then a professional wrestler. I looked up his official bench press record and it is truly outstanding at more than 315 pounds (143 kg) which is 3 plates per side on the Olympic bar set up. For reference, I've been lifting weights my entire adult life and I don't ever bench more than 2 plates per side (225 pounds = 100 kg). In a word, Johnny is amazing and this podcast is on another level: educational, entertaining, and inspiring.
