Welcome to Sound Optometry, a podcast from Docet hosted by Michelle Hanratty, an IP optometrist with over 20 years’ experience in both high street and hospital settings. Each month, through case studies and in-depth conversations, we explore the topics that matter most to you as an optometrist and are relevant to everyday practice.
Episode 23: Eyelid Lesions - Look for the sign: Malignant or benign?
The podcast starts with a patient case study, where we hear about the initial innocuous presentation of a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) through to excision and reconstructive surgery over a two-year period.
Michelle Hanratty then discusses the presentation, differential diagnosis and management of BCC with Mr Raman Malhotra, consultant ophthalmic surgeon and expert in oculoplastics.
They follow up with the differentiation between BCC and other malignancies of the eyelid before moving the conversation on to cover the typical characteristics and management of the most common benign eyelid lesions encountered in practice.
