About this episode
Dr. Dan Reinstein discusses advancements in corneal imaging and the importance of surgical practices in ophthalmology.
Our podcast guest is Dr Dan Reinstein , a London-based refractive surgeon, physicist, and professional jazz saxophonist who pioneered high-frequency digital ultrasound for corneal imaging. He details how his discovery of the corneal epithelium’s fluid-like compensatory behavior allows it to mask stromal irregularities, making it essential for identifying hidden keratoconus that traditional topography might miss. He also discusses the clinical benefits of presbyopic corneal laser treatments. We discuss career pearls, emphasizing the importance of surgical standardization, bimanual dexterity, and the critical need for surgeons to maintain a healthy balance in life. We feature a new podcast every week on Sundays and they are uploaded to all major podcast services (click links here: Apple , Google , Spotify ) for enjoying as you drive to work or exercise. The full video of the podcast is here on CataractCoach as well as on our YouTube channel. Starting now we have sponsorship opportunities available for the top podcast in all of ophthalmology.
