The panel breaks down the essential diagnostic workup required before committing a patient to a premium intraocular lens.
Continue readingPupil Modulation: Does IOL Design Matter?
In this mini session, Dr. Nick Bruns, Dr. Eric Fazio, and Dr. Brian Szabo compare how pupil-modulating drops perform across EDOF, multifocal, and Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) patients, and why lens design changes who’s likely to benefit.

Dr. Nick Bruns walks through a real case where Qlosi was used to knock down higher-order aberrations in a post-Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)
Continue readingQlosi: A Closer Look at Safety
In this mini session, Dr. Nick Bruns, Dr. Eric Fazio, and Dr. Brian Szabo discuss how Qlosi has eased those fears, and what it means for how they approach these drops with patients today.

Glaucoma patients deserve great vision too, and the LAL gives surgeons a real shot at delivering it.
Continue readingManaging NK and Demodex Before Cataract Surgery
Dr. Nick Bruns shares how he hit pause on surgery, treated the surface first with amniotic membrane and Oxervate, and used axis stability rather than cylinder magnitude as his green light to proceed.
Continue readingLAL in a Post-Refractive Patient
Dr. Jeff Banas walks through a bilateral LAL case in a high-expectation patient, and shared how he monitored for 14 weeks before pulling the trigger on the first adjustment, why he refused to chase a moving goalpost, and how managing the ocular surface was just as important as managing the refraction.
Continue readingYAG Pearls in an LAL Patient
Performing a YAG laser capsulotomy on an LAL isn’t quite the same as any other lens. Dr. Patrick shares the material-specific considerations that should shape your approach, and the patient conversation you need to have before you ever sit down at the laser.
