An important factor that contributes to the onset of dry eye disease is meibomian gland dysfunction. Meibomian gland dysfunction causes a disruption in the tear film lipid layer, which affects the rate of tear evaporation. This evaporation leads to tear hyperosmolarity, eventually triggering the onset of dry eye disease. Dry eye disease and meibomian gland dysfunction are strongly associated with each other, such that many of their risk factors, signs, and symptoms overlap. In this educational podcast, our expert faculty will review the association between dry eye disease and meibomian gland dysfunction, and highlight best practices for assessment, diagnosis, and management.

There are two types of common dry eye conditions: Aqueous Deficient Dry Eye, where your eyes do not produce enough tears; and Evaporative Dry Eye (also known as Meibomian Gland Dysfunction) where your tears evaporate too quickly. It's important to learn the difference if you plan to work on curing your dry eyes, and when it comes to Evaporative Dry Eye, Dr. Marc Grossman reccomends using the Avenova Direct Spray Solution to assist you with your condition.Avenova is safe for everyday eyelid and eyelash cleaning for people suffering with Evaporative Dry Eye Disease. The solution has no added buffers, detergents or bleach impurities. Dr. Grossman is a holistic optometrist, in practice for more than 40 years. With his knowledge of such eye diseases, he is able to confirm that Avenova is the best way to aid Evaporative Dry Eye, and is the only lab-tested, truly pure dry eye medication that is patented and FDA cleared.Avenova Direct Spray Solution can be found on the Natural Eye Care Website at: https://store.naturaleyecare.com/avclid.html

Did you know there's a Facebook group called Dry Eye Syndrome Support Community with over 14,000 members from across the world that advise patients on diagnosis, treatment, and mental support?Dr. Brill is religious in this community about participating and providing his professional medical advice. Many of these patients do not have access to quality dry eye care and are faced with self-diagnose and treat themselves. Dr. Brill shares his philosophy and approach to advanced dry eye care.Dr. Travis Zigler along Dr. Jenna Zigler run this community and work hard to spread awareness of proper treatments. This episode covers:No one person is the same. Until the right questions are asked, it’s hard to know exactly why you have dry eye. Have you had LASIK? Have you taken Accutane? Do you live in a dry environment? Do you drink too much caffeine? Is your diet horrible? Do you have an autoimmune condition? Are you going through menopause?Everything works well on the correct candidate.Make Insurance Verification and Pricing on Products Easy w/ This AppGet Better Lab Pricing!

Our understanding of ocular surface health has increased exponentially in recent years, but the growing wealth of knowledge can sometimes be difficult to succinctly apply in the clinic. George Waring IV, MD; Tal Raviv, MD; and Doug Devries, OD, discuss the overarching role of meibomian glands in ocular surface health and pre-surgical measurements, how they impact patients' vision, and how to effectively evaluate the glands. This is the first of three podcasts in this series.

This is episode number 50! Thank you all for your support on the podcast journey so far. It has been a privilege to bring you 50 guests since starting mid-2015. In this episode we dig deep into an often overlooked topic, an area most of us take for granted, which is our eyes.   Our guest has been a top-practising optometrist for over 3 decades, and is one of Australia’s most experienced eye doctors. Currently an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales, he has also lectured internationally on advanced contact lens fitting, dry eye treatment and computer vision syndrome. He was one of Australia's first optometrists to be qualified in Ocular Therapeutics and is currently an active member of The International Society of Contact Lens Specialists, The American Academy of Optometry and Optometry Australia to name a few. He also runs a very popular practice in Sydney’s CBD on Market Street called The Eye Practice.   Some of the topics we spoke about include: How to manage the increasing epidemic of dry eyes, especially with our heavy use of digital tech The importance of meibomian glands, and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (something I personally suffer from – you’ll hear about that in detail) The misconception and dangerous overuse of eye drop products And how to overcome blue light damage and eye strain (a big one for designers and anyone using a computer daily!) If you’ve ever been interested in eye health and what to do to take care of our precious eyes, this is for you.   I present to you … the knowledgeable, easy-going and super dedicated...
