The MOD Pod
09.03.26
Podcast host Cecelia Koetting, OD, FAAO, Dipl ABO, talks with ODs who contributed to MOD’s recent cataract and refractive surgery issue. Ranjani Panda, OD, FAAO, discusses how to identify ideal candidates for refractive surgery. She notes that choosing the right procedure isn’t just about a patient’s refraction; rather, more emphasis should be placed on their expectations and whether a procedure will realistically be able to meet them. She highlights the importance of “underpromising and overdelivering” when it comes to patient education. Jason Chin, OD, FAAO, then chats about, “The Conundrums With Geriatric Patients and Contact Lenses.” He notes that his article was inspired by an elderly patient who had 16 contact lenses stuck in her eye. He adds that this is a common occurrence in older patients who experience memory issues, highlighting the necessity of honest conversation about contact lens use discontinuation or more frequent follow-up visits as a patient ages, sometimes even involving their family.
