He explores how practices can reduce these vulnerabilities and build a more resilient business through stronger systems, diversified growth and a better patient experience.

👁️ When it comes to astigmatism correction, precision matters.

Carlos Diaz, MD, explores how laser-assisted limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) can bring greater precision, automation and consistency to astigmatism management during cataract surgery.

Could laser LRIs help expand the refractive options available to your patients?

👀 Is the untreated eye really untreated?

Ophthalmology often approaches disease one eye at a time. But Hashem Abu Serhan, MD, argues that the “fellow eye effect” challenges the idea that the two eyes behave independently.

From anti-VEGF therapy and glaucoma drops to inflammation and surgical recovery, what happens in one eye may tell us more about the other than we realize.

👀 Nearly 9 in 10 parents recognize that vision can affect school success. Yet fewer than 1 in 4 teens had a comprehensive eye exam in the last year.

What’s behind the disconnect?

Following the new Alcon Student Vision Survey, Amanda Nanasy, OD, explores what young people may be missing, from vision problems that can slip through basic screenings to why teens might not speak up when something feels wrong.

She also shares how ECPs can better connect with Gen Z patients and make conversations around glasses and contact lenses more relevant to their lives.

🎮🏈 Could better vision be the “cheat code” some young people don’t know they need?
