In this episode, Siddharth Adda and Dr. Sampath Rangasamy, Research Associate Professor at the Translational Genomics Research Institute sit down to discuss his journey researching therapeutics for diabetic retinopathy. Dr. Rangasamy, a lifelong Type-I diabetic, reveals how the disease motivated him to conduct research on angiopoietin-2, and contribute towards a potential therapeutic.

A JAMA study identified factors linked to loss to follow-up in diabetic retinopathy and macular edema patients, including male gender, distance from care, and sociodemographic disparities. In Vietnam, six months of levofloxacin therapy showed a non-significant reduction in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, emphasizing the balance between benefits and tolerability. Finally, Phase II trial showed pancigromab's promise in addressing cancer cachexia, with weight gain and symptom improvement, supporting further research.

Healthcare providers in Saint Lucia are advancing the fight against diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of blindness, through specialized training under the Vision 2020 Links and Networks initiative. Spearheaded by the Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs, the program equips medical professionals with critical skills to detect and treat the condition early. Collaborating with experts from Frimley Park Hospital in the UK, the training combines theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice, reinforcing the country's capacity to prevent vision loss and improve the quality of life for those living with diabetes.  

In this episode I share my jet-lagged reflections after speaking at the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative Symposium. As an ambassador for the initiative, I discuss the fight against diabetic retinopathy, the most common cause of vision loss in people with diabetes, and the ongoing advancements in diagnostics and treatments. I also address your questions, including the challenges of astigmatism, the discomfort of modern headlights, and long-term effects of nystagmus.  Takeaways: Diabetic Retinopathy Is a Leading Cause of Vision Loss: Dr. Flannery explains how diabetes damages the small blood vessels in the retina, leading to blindness if untreated, and highlights the importance of early detection. Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative: This nonprofit is advancing research and treatment options for diabetic retinopathy, focusing on reducing the devastating impact of this disease. Astigmatism and Night Driving: Dr. Flannery discusses the challenges astigmatism poses, especially with modern LED headlights, and highlights solutions like glasses, contact lenses, and specialized intraocular lenses. Nystagmus and Eye Movement: He explains why people with congenital nystagmus often don't perceive the motion of their eyes and debunks concerns about long-term damage from constant eye movement. The Power of Advocacy: Through his work with the Mary Tyler Moore initiative and engaging with fans, Dr. Flannery emphasizes the importance of education and community in addressing preventable vision loss. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

This podcast is about big ideas on how technology is making life better for people with vision loss. When we buy a product off the shelf, we rarely think about how much work went into getting it there. Between initial conception and going to market, life-changing technology requires a rigorous testing and development process. That is especially true when it comes to accessible technology for people who are blind or visually impaired. For this episode, Dr. Cal spoke to Jay Cormier, the President and CEO of Eyedaptic, a company that specializes in vision-enhancement technology. Their flagship product, the EYE5, provides immense benefits to people with Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, and other low-vision diseases. But this product didn't arrive by magic. It took years of planning, testing, and internal development to bring this technology to market. This episode also features JR Rizzo, who is a professor and researcher of medicine and engineering at NYU — and a medical doctor. JR and his research team are developing a wearable “backpack” navigation system that uses sophisticated camera, computer, and sensor technology. JR discussed both the practical and technological challenges of creating such a sophisticated project, along with the importance of beta testing and feedback.   The Big Takeaways: The importance of testing: There's no straight line between the initial idea and the final product. It's more of a wheel, that rolls along with the power of testing and feedback. It's extremely important to have a wide range of beta testers engage with the product. Their experience with it can highlight unexpected blind spots and create opportunities to make something even greater than originally anticipated. Anticipating needs: When it comes to products like the EYE5, developers need to anticipate that its users will have evolving needs as their visual acuity deteriorates. So part of the development process involves anticipating what those needs will be and finding a way to deliver new features as users need them. Changing on the fly: Sometimes, we receive feedback we were never expecting. When JR Rizzo received some surprise reactions to his backpack device, he had to reconsider his approach and re-examine his fundamental design. Future-Casting: When Jay Cormier and his team at Eyedaptic first started designing the EYE5 device, they were already considering what the product would look like in the future, and how it would evolve. To that end, they submitted certain patents many years ahead of when they thought they'd need them — and now, they're finally being put to use.   Tweetables: “I'm no Steve Jobs and I don't know better than our users. So the best thing to do is give them a choice and see what happens.” — Jay Cormier, President & CEO of Eyedaptic “I started to think a little bit more about … assistive technologies. … And, I thought about trying to build in and integrate other sensory inputs that we may not have natively … to augment our existing capabilities.” — JR Rizzo, NYU Professor of Medicine and Engineering “I think the way we've always looked at it is the right way, which is you put the user, the end user, front and center, and they're really your guide, if you will. And we've always done that even in the beginning when we start development of a project.” – Jay Cormier “When we put a 10-pound backpack on some colleagues, they offered some fairly critical feedback that it was way too heavy and they would never wear it. … They were like … it's a non-starter.” — JR Rizzo   Contact Us: Contact us at podcasts@lighthouseguild.org with your innovative new technology ideas for people with vision loss.   Pertinent Links Lighthouse Guild Eyedaptic Rizzo Lab

Mohammad Rafieetary, OD, FAAO, has practiced for nearly 30 years at Charles Retina Institute in Tennessee and Mississippi. He loves being about to closely co-manage his patients alongside his Retina Specialist MD colleagues, including his own son who recently joined that practice. Dr. Rafieetary has always been on the cutting edge of innovations in retina and is excited to see how advanced imaging and AI will continue to impact the future of patient care. The doctors discuss the challenges of caring for patients with diabetes and the new tools and treatments on the horizon. Most importantly, Dr. Rafieetary is passionate about giving back to optometry - whether that be lecturing, mentoring, working with industry, sitting on Boards, or serving as president of the Optometric Retina Society. He encourages more optometrists to “feed and care for the tree,” so that we can all benefit from the fruits of our labor.Eye Give a Damn hosted by Dr. Joseph Allen is produced by FluoreSCENE Media.

In this episode, my guest is Jeffrey Goldberg, MD, PhD, professor and chair of the department of ophthalmology at the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford University. His clinical and research efforts focus on retinal and optic nerve diseases such as glaucoma and discovering stem cell and nanotechnology treatments to cure blindness. We discuss how to maintain and improve eye health throughout life, the advantages and disadvantages of corrective lenses, including if you should wear “readers,” the use and risks of contact lenses, considerations for LASIK eye surgery, floaters, dry eye, the importance of sunlight and UV protection and specific exercises to improve eye and vision health. Dr. Goldberg also explains age-related conditions: cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy; and the behavioral and supplementation-based, prescription and surgical tools used to promote eye health. This episode provides essential tools for listeners of any age and background to maintain eye health and offset vision loss. For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.
