Peer-to-Peer Academy Podcast

Pupil size gets measured on every patient. This session is about actually using it. Dr. Nick Bruns sits down with Brian Szabo, DO, and Eric Fazio, OD, of Newsom Eye in Tampa to discuss how pupil modulation (through drops like Qlosi) can extend depth of focus, cut down on higher-order aberrations, and reduce enhancement and exchange rates in post-cataract patients. A candid, case-driven conversation on a category of tools that's bigger than its presbyopia label suggests.

Complex corneas don't have to mean compromised outcomes. In this webinar, I. Paul Singh, MD, Jeff Banas, OD, FAAO, and John Vukich, MD join Dr. Nick Bruns for a case-driven conversation on pushing the boundaries of what the LAL can do in challenging eyes. The panel works through real cases involving post-RK patients, glaucoma combined with MIGS procedures, vitreous opacities, and advanced ocular surface disease. They shared the clinical decision-making, expectation-setting strategies, and collaborative workflows that turned each one into a success story.

Ocular surface disease doesn’t always announce itself…and in LAL patients, missing it can cost months. In this episode, Dr. Nick Bruns sits down with Clayton Patrick, MD; Josh Davidson, OD, FAAO; and David Black, OD; to work through two cases where dry eye quietly derailed the adjustment process and what it took to rescue each one. The panel shares the clinical clues, diagnostic moves, and collaborative workflows that turned both cases around.

Dry eye can make or break an LAL outcome. Dr. Nick Bruns sits down with Lily Arendt, OD, FAAO; Jason Ellen, OD; and Neel Vaidya, MD, MPH, MBA;  to talk through the real-world strategies they use to identify, treat, and manage ocular surface disease before and during the light adjustment process. Practical, peer-driven, and full of clinical pearls you can put to work tomorrow.

As adoption of the Light Adjustable Lens™ (LAL®) grows beyond the United States, its impact continues to expand across the globe.In this episode, Baseer Khan, MD; Paul Sanghera, MD; and Aditya Salwan, OD with Lumea—a Canada-based clinic—join Dr. Nick Bruns to discuss the journey of premium lens adoption in their clinic. They share techniques for patient education and examples of complex LAL cases involving patients with post-refractive eyes or glaucoma.
