3009: Podcast 175: David Smadja MD

We are joined by a truly innovative mind in ophthalmology, Professor David Smadja. Known for thinking differently, he shares his unique journey into the field, which was initially inspired by a desire to find refractive medical solutions for his brother’s high hyperopia. We dive deep into the evolving world of corneal refractive surgery including his pioneering work with advanced diagnostic devices, the integration of artificial intelligence in predicting ectasia risks, and his revolutionary “EpiMaster” software that analyzes the epithelium as an extra refracting surface. We also explore his groundbreaking work on “Nano Drops”—a minimally invasive, reversible drop-based solution to correct presbyopia and myopia. Finally, he outlines an inspiring initiative to unify refractive centers through a complications committee, ensuring no patient feels abandoned.
We feature a new podcast every week on Sundays and they are uploaded to all major podcast services. 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. Please contact us to inquire.
