Welcome to "Try Not 2 Blink," where cutting-edge research meets practical clinical insights! In today's episode, Roya and Sheila delve into a compelling headline: "Scleral lenses are effective and ‘safe overall’ for pediatric patients." They will dissect a groundbreaking retrospective study, exploring key findings such as the alarming fact that ocular surface disease accounted for 70% of cases, and why clinicians should be proactive in referring young patients for scleral lens assessments.

We are privileged to welcome Dr. Sathi Maiti, a prominent figure in dry eye research, who has been instrumental in many recent pivotal studies. Dr. Maiti will share her expertise on Xdemvy, the innovative treatment for Demodex blepharitis, and provide best practices for its application in clinical settings.

Additionally, we’ll tackle the ongoing debate surrounding Meibo—whether it’s classified as a lubricating drop or a drug—and review the latest advancements in in-office dry eye treatments. We’ll also address how to identify and manage ocular pain disorders, including neuropathic and neurotrophic pain.
