(98613-TD, 1 hr COPE-accredited CE)

In this 1 hr episode, Dr. Chris Lopez and Dr. Marie Huegel explore the rising prevalence of ocular surface disease (OSD), particularly focusing on Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and Demodex blepharitis.

They emphasize the importance of early detection, patient education, and a proactive treatment model. The discussion includes epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic tools, and a broad range of treatment strategies, from home care to advanced in-office procedures like intense pulsed light (IPL) and blepharoexfoliation.

The podcast draws parallels between ocular and dental hygiene, advocating for routine lid maintenance to prevent disease progression.
