Ep. 26 - Presbyopia Drops, Part 2 (with Dr. Janelle Davison, Dr. Chris Lopez)

Presbyopia is a “midlife rite of passage,” but your patients don’t want a lecture—they want options. In this episode (101706-PH), Dr. Chris Lopez and Dr. Janelle Davison walk through how they’re managing presbyopia with miotic drops in real clinic flow: patient-friendly explanations, how to choose between current options, what side effects to expect, and how to keep retinal safety and ocular surface stewardship front and center.

You’ll also hear practical workflow tips (screening questions, staff scripting, and in-office prompts) plus case-based selection for common presbyope profiles—so you can position drops as an “and,” not an “or,” alongside glasses and contact lenses.

• How to explain presbyopia simply (the “camera zoom” analogy)

• Comparing today’s miotic drop options and expected side effects

• Retinal screening & safety counseling (who to avoid and when to worry)

• Ocular surface-friendly vehicles, dosing, and neuroadaptation tips

• Easy workflow integration + case-based prescribing examples
