Cataract Coach with Uday Devgan MD

Our podcast guest bridges the clinical and surgical aspects of ophthalmology with cutting edge basic science research about the cornea. Professor Edgar Espana MD from the University of South Florida in Tampa. In this podcast we cover many important topics like how we can modulate, treat, and prevent corneal scarring; how collagen determines the stiffness of the cornea; and understanding incision architecture and the best ways of suturing. I'm confident that you will learn valuable clinical pearls from this podcast.

Our podcast guest today is Dr Satya V. Reddy who is an anterior segment surgeon in Louisiana, USA and we talk about one of the most important issues that you will face in your life: how to balance building a practice with having a family (and personal) life that you can enjoy. I have struggled with this and have made many mistakes. Now we realize that the concept of "delayed gratification" may not be the best approach. We talk about the challenges and how to figure out the right recipe and balance for you and your life. I know you will find this very useful.

This podcast taught me so much about integrative and functional medicine, which is something that is not really taught in ophthalmology residency. Dr Rudrani Banik is a neuro-ophthalmologist who has a deep expertise in ocular nutrition and she is coordinating an anonymous Ocular Nutrition Survey so we can identify the gaps in nutrition education for ophthalmologists. She has also written two books on the topic:  Beyond Carrots- Best Foods For Eye Health A to Z and its companion cookbook, Dr. Rani's Visionary Kitchen. She also is the founder of The Eye Summit™ 2026 which is taking place online May 11-15, 2026 and is free.

About 30 years ago the initial clinical trials and studies for the FDA approval of LASIK were done and our podcast guest was there and a key member of that team. Professor Keith Walter MD has been involved in advancing refractive surgery, both corneal and lenticular, for three decades. He is also the surgeon who taught us all that operating room temperature and humidity control is critical for excimer laser refractive accuracy. In this podcast we have a great discussion about the early days of corneal refractive surgery and how you can do better surgery. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
