Coffee with Nate Featuring Dr. Sumitra Khandelwal

How often is the ocular surface influencing what we see in glaucoma and cataract patients? In the latest episode of Coffee with Nate, Dr. Nathan Radcliffe sits down with Dr. Sumitra Khandelwal to discuss why treating the ocular surface isn't just about improving comfort—it can change how we evaluate, manage, and ultimately care for our patients. From recognizing meibomian gland dysfunction before it impacts surgical planning to understanding the relationship between ocular surface disease and glaucoma therapy, the conversation explores why optimizing the surface should be a priority, not an afterthought. "When patients tell you their vision fluctuates, they're often giving you the diagnosis before you even begin the exam." Whether you're managing cataract patients, glaucoma patients, or both, this discussion is packed with practical insights you can bring into clinic tomorrow.
