31. EDOF Intraocuar Lenses (Dr. Eric Donnenfeld)
mercredi 11 septembre 2024 • Duration 25:45
Extended depth of focus (EDOF) lenses have transofmed the intraocular lens (IOL) landscape. As opposed to the binary choice of a monofocal or a multifocal IOL, there is an 'in-between' option that allows for more intermediate vision than monofocal lenses but less dysphotopsias than the mutifocal lenses. How do these lenses work, how should we explain them to patients, and what are the factors that guide our decisions on lens selection? Dr. Eric Donnenfeld joins the podcast.

mercredi 21 août 2024 • Duration 23:26
Cataracts and AMD are two of the most common ocular pathologies. But in patients who have both conditions, are there special considerations that should be taken into account? Should cataract surgey potentially be delayed in AMD patients because a protective effect of the cataract?

21. Cataract Post-Op Checks (Dr. Uday Devgan)
mercredi 27 mars 2024 • Duration 23:13
Traditionally, most of us were taught that after cataract surgery, a patient should be assessed on day one, week one, and month one. But what are these recommendations based on? Practically speaking, does our typical survellance of post-operative cataract surgery patients make sense, or are we overly dogmatic in our approach? Dr. Uday Devgan, aka 'The Cataract Coach', joins the podcast.

20. Acute Angle Closure Glaucoma (Dr. Ike Ahmed)
mercredi 28 février 2024 • Duration 27:39
The traditional paradigm is that when a patient presents with acute angle closure due to pupil block, a peripheral iridotomy (PI) must be performed immediately. But in reality, is this always the best approach? Is it safe to treat medically for a period of time before the PI? In which situations might a PI actually exacerbate the acute angle closure? Dr. Ike Ahmed joins the podcast.

19. Keratoconus - 'No Rub, No Cone' (Dr. Damien Gatinel)
jeudi 1 février 2024 • Duration 01:03:52
We all know that keratoconus is very highly associated with eye rubbing. But in general, the widely held belief has been that keratoconus is just associated with eye rubbing, one of multiple factors that leads to the condition. But have we gotten it wrong? Is eye rubbing not merely associated with keratoconus, but actually the sole causative factor of keratoconus? Has there been a huge blind spot in our basic understanding of keratoconus development and progression? Dr. Damien Gatinel joins the podcast.

18. Acetazolamide (Dr. Deborah Friedman)
mercredi 10 janvier 2024 • Duration 23:12
Acetazolamide is a common and important medication used in ophthalmology. It is used as a treatment for both high intraocular pressure and high intracranial pressure. Yet despite its many uses, many ophthalmologists feel nervous when prescribing it due its potential side effects and the concern of sulfa allergy. And while caution is always a good thing, have we perhaps overstated the risks with acetazolamide to such a point that we don’t use it enough? What exactly is sulfa allergy, and does it even apply to acetazolamide? And how dangerous is acetazolamide, and how should we be counseling patients when prescribing it? Dr. Deborah Friedman joins the podcast.

17. Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (Dr. R. Rishi Gupta)
mercredi 13 décembre 2023 • Duration 37:44
A central retinal artery occlusion is arguably one of the worst ocular events that can occur, given its extremely poor visual prognosis. As such, our efforts to find an effective treatment for CRAO have been extensive, but in many regards, inadequate. There are certain treatment options that we all learn in residency to try and halt a CRAO, but for the most part, many of these techniques are fairly unproven and don’t work so well. So what does actually work? And is the evidence for TPA strong enough that we should be routinely recommending it in appropriate cases? Dr. Rishi Gupta joins the podcast.

16. Botox and Fillers (Dr. Harmeet Gill)
mercredi 29 novembre 2023 • Duration 53:19
Over the past two decades, Botox and Fillers have changed the landscape of cosmetic plastic surgery, including the field of oculoplastics. But how exactly to Botox and Fillers work, and more importantly, how should patients be counseled on these elective treatments? And from a philosophical standpoint, has the world of cosmetic surgery gone too far in 'de-aging' the population and perhaps further stigmatizing the natural process of getting older? Oculoplastics specialist Dr. Harmeet Gill joins the podcast.

15. Blepharitis (Dr. Ashley Brissette)
mercredi 15 novembre 2023 • Duration 17:46
Blepharitis is a common diagnosis, but it’s also an umbrella term that encompasses many different clinical disorders which require varying treatment approaches. Many patients struggle with chronic blepharitis, where it’s tough to find an effective treatment. So what exactly is the best approach to blepharitis? How does one differentiate staph blepharitis from demodex? What are the most effective treatments on the market? And from a preventative standpoint, what exactly is lid hygiene, and is it something we should routinely be recommending to our patients? Dr. Ashley Brissette joins the podcast.

14. Flashes and Floaters (Dr. Efrem Mandelcorn)
mercredi 25 octobre 2023 • Duration 24:55
Flashes and floaters is one of the most common presenting complaints to eye care professionals. And while most of us understand the general pathophysiology of the vitreous separating from the retina, some of the nuances may not be as clear. Why do flashes and floaters persist so differently in patients? Why do flashes and floaters continue even after a vitrectomy? How common are retinal tears when one experiences new symptoms? And how, ultimately, should this affect our guidelines for monitoring patients who have new flashes and floaters? Dr. Efrem Mandelcorn joins the podcast.
