Welcome to the Guilbault Girls Show where you will have the opportunity to hear from mothers, fathers, siblings, and individuals themselves about their journey of living with a disability. I am your host Karen Guilbault and today’s guest is Dr. Edward Kuwera.

Dr. Edward Kuwera is an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology and Fellowship
Program Director in the Division of Pediatrics and Adult Strabismus at The Wilmer Eye
Institute of The Johns Hopkins University. His primary focus involves managing complex forms of strabismus, including the surgical management of cyclovertical diplopia, reoperations, and strabismus from thyroid eye disease. He is one of very few surgeons in the world who performs adjustable strabismus surgery for both adults AND children, done on the same day of the procedure.

He is an award-winning educator and a member of the Pediatric Eye Disease
Investigator Group (PEDIG), a multi-center network of providers who implement clinical trials to optimize pediatric eye care. He is the Wilmer residency program’s Co-Division Education Champion in ophthalmic optics, and Division Education Champion in pediatric ophthalmology – providing instruction on clinical skills, surgical techniques,
and review of the basic sciences.

Dr. Kuwera has expertise and interest in other areas of ophthalmology including
nystagmus, amblyopia, and cortical visual impairment. He is working with a neurologist
and several biomedical engineers on augmented reality and virtual reality technologies
to help better diagnose and treat these problems in the future.

This episode we explore Positive Impact. UCLB is helping to create a new generation of businesses from UCL academics specifically with positive societal impact at their heart. The commercialisation process can be a long road requiring financial, legal, and practical support. Nigel Campbell meets two inventors, Buffy Price Co-founder and COO of Carbon Re, an AI and Climate Tech company spinout from UCL and Cambridge, and Professor Pete Coffey from UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Founder of Tenpoint Therapeutics; both who are on that journey on how their inventions might improve our future world. We also talk to Dr Anne Lane, CEO of UCLB to find out how UCLB finds the bright ideas which will improve lives, and what it takes to scale to a point where they are having true impact.

Dr. Terry T. Marquardt, OD practiced optometry during a time when developments in medicine, treatment techniques, and changes in the law gave optometrists a greater responsibility for treating eye disease and vision correction. Prior to the 1970s, people living in rural areas and smaller towns of the United States did not have access to eye care for eye infections and eye injuries. The law required ophthalmologists to treat eye infections and eye injuries. People had to travel to big cities where ophthalmologists were located. The healthcare system for the eye was inefficient. People had to travel 100 miles to get treatment for infections and minor surgical procedures. State laws expanded the type of care, treatment, and medicine optometrists were licensed to provide to patients, and optometry schools expanded education and training for that care, treatment, and medicine. Now, ophthalmologist are specialty trained eye surgeons, optometrist are medically trained eye doctors, and opticians are like pharmacists who fills the prescriptions. In New Mexico, where Dr. Terry T. Marquardt, OD focused his optometry practice, major changes in the law were as follows: 1977, Diagnostic Pharmaceutical Legislation, Signed by Governor Apodaca 1985, Therapeutic Pharmaceutical Legislation, Signed by Governor Anaya 1995, Oral Pharmaceutical Legislation – Schedule III-V with some restrictions, Signed by Governor Johnson 1997, SB 277, Laser Legislation passed by the New Mexico House of Representatives and the New Mexico Senate, but Vetoed by Governor Johnson 2003, HB 248, Contact Lens Release Legislation, Signed by Governor Richardson 2007, SB 367, Minor Surgical Procedures & Injections Legislation, Signed by Governor Richardson 2015, SB 367, Hydrocodone Schedule II, No restriction on pharmaceuticals Schedules III-V, Enable the New Mexico Board of Optometry to issue declaratory rulings on what constitutes the scope of practice of optometry in accordance with the Optometry Act, Signed by Governor Martinez 2017, HB 364, Patient Protection Legislation, Prohibiting Online Eye Exam, Requiring In-Person Eye Exams, Vetoed by Governor Martinez 2019, HB 242, Patient Protection Legislation, Prohibiting Online Eye Exam, Requiring In-Person Eye Exams, Signed by Governor Lujan Grisham
