Financial disclosures

Current relationships: Dr. James Deom, OD, MPH, FAAO, FSLS, reports no current financial relationships with pharmaceutical or device companies, including the makers of GLP-1 medicines. He does not currently receive payments, consulting fees, speaking fees, or research funding from any such company.

Past relationships: In the past, Dr. Deom did speaking, advisory, and consulting work for eye care companies. None of that work has been active in roughly the last two years, and none of it involved makers of GLP-1 medicines.

Practice

Dr. Deom is Chief of Eye Care Services at Hazleton Eye Specialists (Eye Specialists of NEPA), which provides eye exams and imaging, including OCT, OCT angiography, and fundus photography with autofluorescence. This site recommends eye exams, and Hazleton Eye Specialists is one of the places to get one. You can have an exam with any qualified eye doctor; in Dr. Deom’s opinion, the doctor and office should have the technology to assess and follow you over time, including OCT, OCT angiography (OCTA), and retinal photography with autofluorescence. The practice’s office locations are listed on Find an Eye Doctor.
