Two recent drug approvals changed the game for ocular surface disease: Xdemvy (lotilaner ophthalmic solution) 0.25 percent (Tarsus Pharmaceuticals) for Demodex blepharitis, and Miebo (perfluorohexyloctane ophthalmic solution) from Bausch + Lomb and Novaliq for evaporative dry eye disease. On today's podcast, two ocular surface disease experts talk about these and other developments related to dry eye.Our guests:Laura Periman, MD, aka “the dry eye master” and founder of Periman Eye InstituteLisa Nijm, MD, JD, a corneal, cataract, and Lasik specialist at Warrenville Eyecare and Lasik in Warrenville, IllinoisDr. Periman was an investigator in the Xdemvy clinical trials, and Dr. Nijm was involved in an extended observational study.“Before Xdemvy, patients' options were limited,” Dr. Nijm told host Carey Powers. “When treated with Xdemvy, at one year, about 60 percent of patients still had clearance of Demodex.”Periman noted that during clinical trials, within a week or two she noticed “impressive improvements” in redness, reduction of collarette, and mite load in patients treated with Xdemvy. She also said the drug was “extremely well tolerated.”Miebo, a product designed to prevent excessive tear evaporation in patients with dry eye, is also expected to bring relief to a wide number of people. Dr. Periman sees Miebo as a “rapid go-to” for patients with an evaporative component, as it will potentially allow the ocular surface to protect the cornea as it's supposed to.These two products alone will help make ocular surface diseases easier to manage; however, other exciting innovations emerging later this year could liven up the playing field.Listen to the podcast today to discover:Drs. Periman and Nijm's insights into the Xdemvy clinical trias and why they're not surprised the drug received early FDA approval.How to identify Demodex in the clinic: a quick tip from Dr. Periman.Why patient education around lid hygiene remains important even with use of Xdemvy.How to best use the latest dry eye treatments to treat ocular surface disease.What makes Miebo a unique and widely applicable product.Innovations on the horizon in dry eye disease, from pharmaceuticals to neurostimulators.How the aesthetic components of dry eye disease factor into clinical care.[Listen Now]ResourcesLisa Nijm, MD, JD: warrenvilleeyecare.comLaura Periman, MD: dryeyemaster.com/about-laura-perimanCarey Powers: ois.net/carey-powers

Today's podcast shines the spotlight on the front of the eye, focusing new treatments and approaches to dry eye disease, blepharitis, and Sjogren's Syndrome, to name a few.Kelly Nichols, OD, PhD, dean of the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry, guides a panel of four clinical and industry experts through a robust conversation on ocular surface disease.They start by sharing their optimism around new treatments and awareness initiatives. Jeffrey Nau, PhD, president of the newly formed Viatris Eye Care Division, said progress is inching along now, but “it's only a matter of time until we have a massive uplift that will completely change the way we look at ocular surface disease.”In late 2021, the FDA approved Tyrvaya, the first nasal spray for dry eye disease. Researchers continue to evaluate treatments and diagnostics from multiple angles. Physicians continue to tailor their approaches to better educate, diagnose, and treat ocular surface disease patients. What's next?Listen to the podcast today to hear the panelists discuss these and other topics, including:What excites you about current and emerging eye care innovations?What's your approach for both new and returning dry eye patients?What's your typical patient intake workflow?How much time do you spend educating dry eye patients?How important are companion diagnostics in ocular surface disease?[Press Play to Listen]
Today, it's all about the eyes, which are somewhat the extension of our brain, so treating ANY condition with them can be scary. I've gotten a lot of questions from listeners about dupilumab (Dupixent) and the side effects specifically when it comes to the eyes. So to dive in on this topic, I brought in today's guest, Dr. Roselie Achten, since her PhD focuses on ocular surface disease in atopic dermatitis patients before and during dupilumab treatment. Dr. Roselie Achten is a medical doctor and PhD student at the Department of Dermatology at the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands, and I am so excited to have her on the show! You can find some of her research findings in the links section below. Have you ever experienced any side effects with your eyes after starting dupilumab? I'd love to hear about it in the comments! In this episode: Stats on how many patients develop Dupixent eye side effects (aka. dupilumab-associated ocular surface disease) Eye symptoms of patients commonly complain about How long does it typically take to develop eye problems from Dupixent? What puts you more at risk for developing Dupixent eye side effects? What are your options if you develop Dupixent eye side effects? Can reducing the use of Dupixent help? Quotes “We were also quite surprised by the fact that the majority of the patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis already had characteristics of the ocular surface disease. So of the 70 patients that were analyzed, 90% of them already had characteristics of ocular surface disease before the start of Dupilumab treatment." [11:09] "If patients have these signs and symptoms of dupilumab associated ocular surface disease, we first start with tacrolimus skin ointment for the external eyelids. We also start with ketotifen, which is an antihistamine eye drop... also the artificial tears, it's more for if you experience a dry eye sensation, it could lead to improvement of that symptom for a little time."
