Retinal Lesions • Demodex Blepharitis • Opportunities in COVID • Walt Whitley, OD

This month, we hear four more articles from Modern Optometry’s final issue of 2020—all of which are on different topics. First, Jessica Haynes, OD, FAAO, talks about some of the more common retinal lesions ODs can encounter in the clinic, because recognizing the presentations of these common culprits can help clinicians refer patients promptly when necessary (00:48). Next up is Jaclyn Garlich, OD, FAAO, with a primer on Demodex blepharitis: what it is, how to manage and educate patients, and options for treatment (12:07). Stephen Cohen, OD, follows with ideas for boosting a practice’s health as optometrists move forward in and eventually after, the COVID-19 pandemic (21:44). In the final segment of the episode we hear about when Walter O. Whitley, OD, MBA, FAAO, decided to pursue a career in optometry, what has been the most memorable experience of his career so far, and more (33:44).
