Podcasts about lipiflow

Lipiflow and IPL have become mainstays in the treatment of meibomian gland disease. But while they might be effective in some cases, they are also quite expensive to patients. Which begs the question – how effective are lipiflow and IPL when compared to more conventional treatments? Is there a way to predict which patients will benefit most from these treatments? Ultimately, how should Lipiflow and IPL factor into the treatment algorithm for meibomian gland disease in a way that is clinically advantageous while also cost-sensitive to the patient?

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Dr. Todd Cohan (email; website).   Todd joins the show to talk about how much of a positive impact integrating ocular surface disease has been not only for the increased standard of care he's been able to provide patients but also how that has helped him run a very profitable practice. We start out talking about how his practice does things a bit different by charging for the pretesting in their office, how that has translated into his revenue per patient being in the 99th percentile, how he got involved in OSD, a bit of a clinical digression about Lipiflow, mistakes he's observed practice owners make, and how practice owners can begin to think about executing on this plan in their practice.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center. While there, be sure to subscribe to our newsletter and you can also set up a 20-30min Triage conversation to learn a little bit more about how we help ODs around the country reduce their tax bill, proactively manage cash flow, and make prudent investment decisions or check out any number of additional free resources like our eBooks, blog posts, and on-demand webinars.   And with that introduction, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Todd Cohan.

This episode answer questions related to black arc in the eyes, hemifacial nerve spasm, dry eye syndrome, double vision, and cataract surgery as it relates to releasing intraocular pressure. Question 1 0:31 - 11:00 Hello, Dr. Berne!  I'm a bit concerned. I started seeing a black arc in my right eye that comes and goes. Mostly if I look up quickly, it looks like an eyebrow. It's not flashing but it is instantaneous.  I don't think it is a floater. I've been checking with your videos but not seeing this specific thing. Would you be so kind as to have an idea for me? Thank you!! Question 2 11:00 - 15:55 I have some questions about hemifacial nerve spasm.  What is it? What can I do about it? Question 3 15:55 - 22:42 I have dry eye syndrome mainly tearing. I am going to a dry eye specialist. He recommends the treatment Lipiflow, thermal lid treatments, supplements, eye wash, and tree oil with a moist compress. I prefer to use your drops. Thank you for your advice! Question 4 22:42 - 28:33 Hi, Dr. Berne!  I have been on your mailing list for some time now. I take several of your supplements, and I regularly view your videos. I am grateful to you for the helpful information. I am referring to a specific video, where you talk about double vision and therapeutic prisms. I am 66 years old. I've had high myopia all my life. Recently I have developed double vision. The doctors have cleared me of any neurological issues. I'm told I have esophoria, and he recommended surgery. However, I'm not keen about surgery.  I am interested in learning more about your therapeutic prisms.  I'd appreciate your advice. Question 5 28:33 - 35:44 I have small vessels in my eyes that are too narrow and are building up pressure, in addition to cataracts. My Ophthalmologist wants to do a pinhole technique to relieve the pressure (my brother had the same thing done years ago with success). He said the cataract surgery would solve both issues with only one procedure.  I would rather try the cataract drops. Would they help in my case? And would you expect any improvement by the end of May, when I am scheduled for the surgery? In my eye history, I have also had RK done about 30 years ago before lasers were invented. I wish I could have an office visit, but I live in Illinois. Thanks much for your help!
