Peer-to-Peer Academy Podcast

Pupil size gets measured on every patient. This session is about actually using it. Dr. Nick Bruns sits down with Brian Szabo, DO, and Eric Fazio, OD, of Newsom Eye in Tampa to discuss how pupil modulation (through drops like Qlosi) can extend depth of focus, cut down on higher-order aberrations, and reduce enhancement and exchange rates in post-cataract patients. A candid, case-driven conversation on a category of tools that's bigger than its presbyopia label suggests.

Complex corneas don't have to mean compromised outcomes. In this webinar, I. Paul Singh, MD, Jeff Banas, OD, FAAO, and John Vukich, MD join Dr. Nick Bruns for a case-driven conversation on pushing the boundaries of what the LAL can do in challenging eyes. The panel works through real cases involving post-RK patients, glaucoma combined with MIGS procedures, vitreous opacities, and advanced ocular surface disease. They shared the clinical decision-making, expectation-setting strategies, and collaborative workflows that turned each one into a success story.

Ocular surface disease doesn’t always announce itself…and in LAL patients, missing it can cost months. In this episode, Dr. Nick Bruns sits down with Clayton Patrick, MD; Josh Davidson, OD, FAAO; and David Black, OD; to work through two cases where dry eye quietly derailed the adjustment process and what it took to rescue each one. The panel shares the clinical clues, diagnostic moves, and collaborative workflows that turned both cases around.

Dry eye can make or break an LAL outcome. Dr. Nick Bruns sits down with Lily Arendt, OD, FAAO; Jason Ellen, OD; and Neel Vaidya, MD, MPH, MBA;  to talk through the real-world strategies they use to identify, treat, and manage ocular surface disease before and during the light adjustment process. Practical, peer-driven, and full of clinical pearls you can put to work tomorrow.

As adoption of the Light Adjustable Lens™ (LAL®) grows beyond the United States, its impact continues to expand across the globe.

In this episode, Baseer Khan, MD; Paul Sanghera, MD; and Aditya Salwan, OD with Lumea—a Canada-based clinic—join Dr. Nick Bruns to discuss the journey of premium lens adoption in their clinic. They share techniques for patient education and examples of complex LAL cases involving patients with post-refractive eyes or glaucoma.

In this webinar, industry experts Eva Kim, MD; Seamus Martin, OD; and Bobby Saenz, OD; share how the Light Adjustable Lens™ (LAL®) has shaped their approach to the conversation on premium lenses, as well as how it’s emphasized the value of the patients’ input to achieve their best visual outcome.

“I would never ask you to do anything I wouldn’t do myself.” It’s an old saying—but an honest one—that rings true in the world of ophthalmology. Many professionals in the industry have undergone the same vision surgery they recommend to patients, including the Light Adjustable Lens™ (LAL®).

In this patient-focused webinar, Nick Bruns, OD, FAAO, is joined by two such professionals: Kenneth King, OD, and Kasey Gantz, COO, both with the Alliance Vision Institute. Together, they share how receiving the LAL has positively transformed their personal and professional lives.

In this special patient-focused webinar, Nick Bruns, OD, FAAO is joined by Drs. Eric Fazio and Brian Szabo (Newsom Eye) to outline the “dos” and “don’ts” of the Light Adjustable Lens™ (LAL®) process. You’ll gain a better understanding of the surgical procedure — including considerations they make for post-refractive patients, precautions that help prevent the LAL from involuntarily shifting after surgery, and how they go about post-surgical care, from dry eye management to making adjustments with the Light Delivery Device™ (LDD™).

In this special edition of Peer-to-Peer Academy, Nick Bruns, OD, FAAO and John Vukich, MD answer patients’ biggest questions about the Light Adjustable Lens™ (LAL®). As some of the first to adopt this technology, Drs. Bruns and Vukich have an intimate understanding of the LAL, from the cataract surgery process to UV protection measures. Watch as they share their collective insights on this revolutionary lens, the success rates and benefits, as well as the importance of a team approach and patient trust.
