One of the biggest shifts happening in dry eye care right now is moving away from simply labeling patients as “evaporative” or “aqueous deficient” and instead focusing on the true root cause behind the symptoms.

On Defocus Media, Dr. Julian Prosia shared a powerful perspective on why understanding pathophysiology, blink patterns, meibomian gland dysfunction, inflammation, and patient-specific factors is changing the way leading eye care professionals approach treatment.

What if the root cause of dry eye, inflammation, fatigue, or even vision changes starts in the gut?

In this episode of The Eye-Q Podcast, Dr. Rudrani Banik sits down with Dr. Daniel Chille to discuss the gut-eye connection, inflammation, mitochondrial health, stool testing, and how functional medicine may help uncover hidden triggers impacting overall health and vision.
