  • Reliable, Research-backed Info

    The best place to learn about the eyes! I’ve been watching Dr Allen’s YouTube videos for years and trust him for solid, research-backed info on eye care. He was also my eye doctor for a few years and was incredible, always listening carefully and giving complete, solid advice. I’m glad he has a podcast so it’s easier to listen to him on the go :)

  • Who knew talking about eyes could be so entertaining!

    I’ve been watching Dr Allen’s YT videos for a while now. I came across his “eye floater” episode this week and was so excited to see he now has this podcast!

    I’ve had eye floaters all my life and seeing an episode dedicated to this issue was fascinating and informative. His guests were top notch and I loved hearing about the new options for people with eye floaters. I’m so glad that the first episode was about something most people will deal with in one way or another. I’m looking forward to f... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Omega-3 for Dry Eyes: Benefits, Dosage and Safety
Q: Is cod liver oil good for dry eyes?
Cod liver oil contains omega-3s but also high vitamin A; excessive vitamin A can cause hypervitaminosis with potential eye-related issues, so it's important to balance benefits with risks and prefer dedicated omega-3 supplements if needed.
Omega-3 for Dry Eyes: Benefits, Dosage and Safety
Q: Is it normal for one eye to be nearsighted and the other farsighted?
Yes. Some people have anisometropia where the two eyes have different prescriptions; when the difference is significant, it can cause issues like headaches or amblyopia in kids, and may be better managed with contact lenses or refractive surgery rather than glasses alone.
Cataract Surgery Explained: Lens Options, Recovery & Risks | Dr. Gary Wörtz
Q: What are the most important lens considerations a patient should understand before cataract surgery?
Patients should recognize that the implanted lens will set the long-term vision outcome across distances; choosing between monofocal, toric, multifocal, or light-adjustable options depends on desired independence from glasses and tolerance for trade-offs like halos or contrast reduction.
Why Dry Eye Treatments Fail and What Actually Works | Dr. Laura Periman
Q: What role do corneal nerves play in dry eye and how can we restore their function?
Corneal nerves act as a rheostat, constantly sensing tear film quality and adjusting tear production. Chronic inflammation can blunt or extinguish these signals. Restoration is possible through anti-inflammatory strategies, PRP, senegerman, and, in some extreme cases, nerve-targeted therapies, though outcomes vary by patient.
Why Dry Eye Treatments Fail and What Actually Works | Dr. Laura Periman
Q: Why is dry eye disease considered multifactorial in your view?
Because multiple drivers—from tear production to eyelid gland function, inflammation, neurosensory input, and even the microbiome—contribute to the disease. Effective management requires identifying all active drivers in a patient and layering therapies that address each of those factors, not just treating downstream symptoms.
