Learn From Dr. Stewart’s Woo U Wisdom How To Talk To Your Patient With Ocular Surface and Lid Disease by Dr. Allen

Written By Kl Apalla

Dr. Joseph Allen began his presentation, "Seeing Eye To Eye: Effective Communication Strategies for Ocular Surface and Lid Disease Patients," by posing the question: Why does communication matter in healthcare? Many presentations focus on the clinical skills needed, but few truly delve into how to communicate effectively with patients.

He then discussed the patient experience and perception, explored why ocular surface disease and lid disease are particularly challenging, and shared key communication concepts and practices. Dr. Allen also provided valuable tips, tricks, and key phrases to enhance patient interactions.

This presentation is highly recommended for anyone interested in improving their communication skills in healthcare.
