Dr. Lauren Zimski brings expert dry eye care to the UnabridgedMD podcast, hosted by Isabelle Amigues, MD.
This is the first of a two-part discussion that dives into the innovative, effective dry eye treatments provided by Dr. Zimski, which go beyond the limited options (like artificial tears and punctal plugs) provided by most ophthalmologists. You'll also learn about the causes of dry eye when it comes to rheumatologic conditions.
Next week, we'll discuss in more detail the correlations between rheumatologic conditions and dry eye. As a board-certified ophthalmologist with a special interest in ocular surface disease, Dr. Zimski spent many years in private practice where she saw an increasing number of patients struggling with eye discomfort, redness and fluctuating vision.
Finding that common recommendations such as artificial tears were rarely effective, Dr. Zimski decided to seek out better solutions through research studies, conferences, and engaging thought leaders in the ocular surface disease space. With various treatment options available in the market, she wanted to bring the best new technology into her practice and to integrate it in a stepwise approach to achieve the best results for her patients.
