This new optometric Master Class education program focuses on keratoconus and blepharoptosis treatment and patient outcomes. Presented by Dr. Douglas Devries and Dr. Mile Brujic.
In this episode, subject matter experts Drs. Douglas Devries and Walter Whitley describe how to utilize new and emerging therapies for treating meibomian gland dysfunction.
Drs. Marc Bloomenstein and Josh Johnston discuss best practices for the treatment of aqueous dry eye.
This interview with Drs. Marc Bloomenstein and Cecelia Koetting highlights the prevalence and impact of dry eye disease. The impact of this disease of these groups will be discussed: Ocular Surface Disease patients, Cataract and refractive surgery patients, Contact lens dropout patients.
Drs. Barry Eiden, Melissa Barnett, Mile Brujic, Gloria Chiu, John Gelles, and Andy Morgenstern discuss the incremental impact of keratoconus on visual outcomes and quality of life as the disease progresses, as well as the impact on corneal refractive surgery practice when a patient develop post-refractive surgery ectasia. They discuss treatment options for keratoconus patients in various disease progression levels.
Drs. Barry Eiden, Melissa Barnett, Mile Brujic, Gloria Chiu, John Gelles, and Andy Morgenstern describe recommended diagnostic work-up protocols and preemptive testing indications for various groups of corneal refractive surgery candidates to maximize the diagnosis of keratoconus suspects. They discuss the red flags and cornea concerns that would lead one to recommend a genetic test to identify a potential keratoconus suspect, as well as the actionable decisions you make based on the data you receive from genetic testing.
Drs. Barry Eiden, Melissa Barnett, Mile Brujic, Gloria Chiu, John Gelles, and Andy Morgenstern describe keratoconus, risk factors associated with the disease, and key parameters of keratoconus progression. They discuss the incidence and prevalence of keratoconus with various patient groups, as well as the standard diagnostic test criteria that should be used to identify keratoconus patients.
Drs. Eric Donnenfeld, Ashley Brissette, Terry Kim, Richard Lindstrom, Neda Shamie, Bill Trattler, and Liz Yeu discuss the incremental impact of keratoconus on visual outcomes and quality of life as the disease progresses, as well as the impact on corneal refractive surgery practice when a patient develop post-refractive surgery ectasia. They discuss treatment options for keratoconus patients in various disease progression levels.
