   Ep. 26 - Presbyopia Drops, Part 2 (with Dr. Janelle Davison, Dr. Chris Lopez)

   Presbyopia is a “midlife rite of passage,” but your patients don’t want a lecture—they want options. In this episode (101706-PH), Dr. Chris Lopez and Dr. Janelle Davison walk through how they’re managing presbyopia with miotic drops in real clinic flow: patient-friendly explanations, how to choose between current options, what side effects to expect, and how to keep retinal safety and ocular surface stewardship front and center. You’ll also hear practical workflow tips (screening questions, staff scripting, and in-office prompts) plus case-based selection for common presbyope profiles—so you can position drops as an “and,” not an “or,” alongside glasses and contact lenses. How to explain presbyopia simply (the “camera zoom” analogy) Comparing today’s miotic drop options and expected side effects Retinal screening & safety counseling (who to avoid and when to worry) Ocular surface-friendly vehicles, dosing, and neuroadaptation tips Easy workflow integration + case-based prescribing examples A big thank you to Orasis, maker of Qlosi, for making this episode possible with an unrestricted educational grant.

   Ep. 24 - Masqueraders of Dry Eye Disease w/ Drs. Melissa Bollinger and Chris Lopez

   (100419-TD, 1.0 hr, COPE-accredited CE) In this episode, Drs. Melissa Bollinger and Chris Lopez tackle one of the most challenging areas in ocular surface disease management—when “dry eye” isn’t truly dry eye. Not All That Burns is Dry Eye: Masqueraders of Dry Eye Disease explores how to recognize, diagnose, and manage the numerous conditions that mimic dry eye symptoms and often lead to misdirected treatment. You’ll learn how to accurately differentiate true dry eye disease from masqueraders such as allergic conjunctivitis, ocular rosacea, neuropathic ocular pain, exposure-related conditions, drug-induced toxicity, and systemic causes like Sjögren’s, fibromyalgia, and thyroid eye disease. Using real-world case examples and diagnostic insights, Drs. Bollinger and Lopez share how to break through the symptom–sign mismatch that frustrates both patients and clinicians. They’ll walk you through practical diagnostic strategies—ranging from case history and fluorescein staining to corneal sensitivity testing and meibography—while demonstrating how to apply targeted, etiology-driven management plans. You’ll also learn when to co-manage with rheumatology, neurology, or oculoplastics for optimal outcomes. By the end of the lecture, you’ll have the tools to think beyond “dry eye,” improve patient satisfaction, and confidently identify and treat the true source of ocular discomfort in your patients.
