Join Dr. Andrew Holzman and fellow ophthalmologists Dr. Jonathan Solomon and Dr. Sonny Goel for candid conversations about eye care, vision correction, medical innovation, patient experience, business, and life.
The Wise EYES Guys brings together three experienced ophthalmologists from the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia region for candid conversations about vision correction, patient care, medical innovation, and the realities of practicing medicine. From LASIK and lens-based procedures to emerging technologies, they offer an inside perspective on eye care and the decisions that help patients see better.
Dr. Andrew Holzman, Dr. Jonathan Solomon, and Dr. Sonny Goel introduce the Wise EYES Guys and share the different experiences that shaped their careers, practices, and approaches to patient care.
The conversation explores private practice versus corporate medicine, the importance of putting the patient experience first, and why fear can prevent people from pursuing vision correction. The doctors also discuss the evolution of refractive surgery, including LASIK, refractive lens exchange, and advances in lens technology that are expanding the options available to patients today.
Dr. Andrew Holzman, Dr. Jonathan Solomon, and Dr. Sonny Goel explore how our eyes and vision change with age and what those changes can mean for choosing the right vision correction approach.
The conversation covers presbyopia, LASIK, refractive lens exchange (RLE), ICLs, lens implant technology, and how factors such as age, lifestyle, prescription, and individual vision goals help determine which options may be appropriate for each patient.
Dr. Andrew Holzman, Dr. Jonathan Solomon, and Dr. Sonny Goel explore one of the biggest barriers to vision correction: fear. They discuss why anxiety about eye surgery is so common and how education, communication, and trust can help patients feel more confident about their options.
The conversation addresses common concerns about LASIK, including blinking, pain, recovery, and safety, along with the importance of careful patient selection and how misinformation can prevent people from even exploring whether vision correction may be right for them.
Dr. Andrew Holzman, Dr. Jonathan Solomon, and Dr. Sonny Goel welcome their first Wise EYES Guys guest, patient experience expert Shareef Mahdavi, for a conversation about what makes a truly exceptional medical experience.
They explore what healthcare can learn from hospitality, how physicians and staff can create more personal and frictionless patient experiences, the importance of online reviews and practice culture, and why the patient—not the doctor—should ultimately be the hero of the healthcare journey.
