Dr. Pradhan’s course contains a wealth of information! She is not only a top notch doctor but a great teacher as well. Her course takes you step by step through examining all the symptoms and causes of dry eye and ultimately how to heal dry eye. Her explanations are clear and easy to understand and it really feels like you have a doctor teaching you 1:1 how to solve your dry eye issues. Highly recommend her course and also get her book! It’s a great complement to the course.

This course serves as an amazing tool to empower patients and clinicians alike. Dr. Pradhan is evidence-based but also encourages practicality in subjective matters to help you get to the root cause of your dry eyes. She brings to light the important questions to ask and information to have prepared for an efficient doctor’s visit. Dr. Pradhan helps you get familiar with tools that will be used during your exam, helping to ease any fears or anticipated discomforts. Her passion for what she does oozes throughout the course as she shares her personal anecdotes and clinical stories. The course is good for a variety of learning styles, providing a good mixture of overall concepts and pinpoint details where appropriate. And from the clinicians perspective, the course is great at covering easy-to-miss aspects of a patient’s history that are key in diagnosing and treating dry eye disease. It’s definitely a resource for me moving forward that I can easily use for primary care encounters.

I just finished the comprehensive DRY EYE course. So much information! I have suffered from dry eye for years without ever really knowing the potential causes or fully understanding the pathology. This course highlighted ALL the potential causes and remedies. It is great to have a better knowledge base. I particularly liked the Six Pillars of Health in the Lifestyle Medicine module.
I have already taken some additional steps to combat my dry eye and feel there have been some results already. It’s so nice to not have the constant need to rub my eyes. I think the course is well laid out, and paced nicely, and Dr. Pradhan explains everything thoroughly I recommend this course to anyone treating or dealing with dry eyes.
