?? Living in Florida means sunshine all year long—and that comes with real risks to eye health. Kendall Donaldson, MD, MS Donaldson, #cornea specialist at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, shares an important reminder: don’t skip the #sunglasses—especially if you or your kids are active outdoors. UV exposure builds up over time and can lead to serious complications like pre-cancerous or cancerous lesions on the conjunctiva (the white of the eye) or eyelids. In some cases, treatment may require surgery or even chemotherapy. ??? Dr. Donaldson recommends choosing sunglasses with UVA + UVB protection, and mentions lightweight, performance brands like Nike, Oakley, Under Armour, Bollé, and RIA that can also enhance visual performance—perfect for sports like tennis. #UVProtection #EyeHealth #SunSafety #TennisTips #Ophthalmology #PreventBlindness #EyeCareTips #FloridaLiving #WearSunglasses

"If you're going to have a premium outcome, you need to have a premium cornea to start with." – Doug Katsev M. D. At #CaribbeanEye, Dr. Katsev emphasized the critical role of #dryeye management in achieving optimal surgical outcomes. He highlighted key treatment strategies, including: ?? Punctal plugs – particularly temporary ones to provide rapid relief while allowing time for other therapies to work. ?? Prescription drops – including cyclosporine and lifitegrast (Xiidra) for inflammatory cases. ?? Patient affordability – leveraging coupons, specialty pharmacies, and staff involvement to improve medication access. ?? MIEBO – showing promising refill rates and patient satisfaction in comparison to cyclosporine. Takeaway: Proactive dry eye treatment is essential for better vision and happier post-op patients.
