During a particularly rough eye flare-up this month there were many days when I couldn't see to do my normal work.
It was one of those blessings-in-disguise though, because it forced me to slow down. I took a lot of time to reflect about trends in the dry eye world, where I feel the current trajectory is (and isn't) taking us and what may need to change to facilitate better patient outcomes - better, that is, from the patients' perspectives.
I organized my thoughts into a little video series. This is the first one (long-ish, about 18 minutes) - an introductory video with a little background on me and my 'angle' then zooming in on some important trends and gaps affecting our community.
I feel incredibly energized heading into a new year with fresh commitment and passion.
