  • Summary

  • Host Dr. Jay Sridhar welcomes Dr. Gareth Lema to discuss his group's recent study published in Ophthalmology that quantified the amount of eye drop waste in ophthalmic clinics and the implications for practice. When handled appropriately, argues Dr. Lema, eye drops can be used until the FDA-regulated expiration date, and thus help reduce both their carbon footprint and costs while still providing safe and effective patient care.
