From explaining why prosthetic eyes aren't spherical to highlighting the artistic work of ocularists, I uncover the details behind how these prosthetics are made and fitted. Whether you want a realistic prosthetic or one that reflects your unique personality—like a bedazzled eye—this episode covers it all. Plus, learn about the different reasons why someone might need a prosthetic eye and how these amazing devices can improve lives.

We explore the surprising ways different body parts can be connected to the eye. From spleens to fingernails, Will tests his knowledge with a fun game linking body parts to ophthalmology. We also reminisce about our varied past jobs—from gymnastics coaching and textbook organizing to pizza delivery and research positions—and how those experiences shaped our paths to who we are today. The episode also dives into shocking healthcare news about UnitedHealthcare’s diabetic cataract diagnoses, trademarking content on social media, and navigating the ever-mysterious world of social media algorithms.
