Outstanding Female Leader in Ophthalmology | Mar/Apr '20

Outstanding Female Leader: Liliana Werner, MD, PhD

Dr. Werner is a Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and Codirector of the Intermountain Ocular Research Center at the John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, in Salt Lake City.

1. Please share with us your background.

I am originally from the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil, a region of mountains and coffee plantations. After medical school and ophthalmology residency in Brazil, I moved to Paris for a retina fellowship at Hôtel-Dieu de Paris. After 2 years, I was approached by one of the professors of the ophthalmology department about a PhD program that included a project on surface modification of IOLs. That was my first in-depth experience with research, and it felt perfect for me.

Upon finishing my 4-year PhD program in Paris, my thesis director suggested I spend a year in the laboratory of David J. Apple, MD, in Charleston, South Carolina. Six months into the fellowship, David was diagnosed with cancer, and I was invited to stay longer, obtaining the status of Visiting Assistant Professor. After 3.5 years in Charleston, we moved the laboratory back to Salt Lake City, where David’s work on IOLs had started, together with Randall Olson, MD. I have been at the Moran Eye Center since 2002, where I codirect the Intermountain Ocular Research Center with Nick Mamalis, MD, and became a full tenured professor in 2016. Between 2006 and 2008, I commuted between Salt Lake City and Berlin, Germany, where I was the Director of Preclinical Research at the Berlin Eye Research Institute. I returned full time to the Moran Eye Center in 2008 and, since then, have had the honor of occupying the office that belonged to Dr. Apple when he was faculty.

No one gets anywhere in life on his or her own, and I have many people to thank, including numerous mentors and especially my parents. My father, Heron, was a physician himself, and my mother, Nilma, is an artist. They always valued a good education and therefore gave me tremendous support throughout all of these years.

2. What is the focus of your current research?

My research centers on the interaction between ocular tissues and IOL designs, materials, and surface modifications. These include lenses implanted after cataract surgery, phakic lenses for refractive surgery, and ophthalmic implantable devices in general.

In our laboratory, we perform three main types of work on a daily basis. We conduct a significant number of in vivo preclinical studies in the rabbit model, and we are currently evaluating the uveal and capsular biocompatibility of new IOL materials and designs, including accommodating, modular, adjustable, and drug-eluting lenses. We also perform ex vivo studies using human eyes obtained postmortem to evaluate new implantable devices and surgical techniques or surgical equipment, and we assess the biocompatibility of IOLs in pseudophakic donor eyes. A significant part of our work involves the analyses of IOLs and other implantable ocular devices that have been explanted from patients due to various complications. To conduct these analyses, we frequently use various techniques, including histochemistry, surface analytical methods, and histopathology.

3. What has your experience been collaborating with industry?

Collaborating with industry has generally been a positive experience, and I find this partnership to be very important, especially for patients. As researchers, we have the opportunity to evaluate industry’s ideas, projects, or prototypes in different preclinical studies and to provide feedback that can be used to improve a final product. At my institution, we collaborate with a large number of IOL manufacturers in the United States and abroad. This collaboration is of the utmost importance to our analyses of lenses explanted due to different complications, as we must often trace the history of particular lenses or manufacturing conditions to understand the problem(s) leading to explantation. Further, industry usually employs excellent scientists, from whom I always end up learning.

4. In your opinion, how is the role of women in ophthalmology evolving?

In general, the role of women in the professional arena is evolving constantly, and we are in a much better place than we were a few decades ago. Despite the increasing number of women in medical schools and residency programs, we still do not see the same proportion of women in leadership roles or at the podium. However, the situation is changing, thanks to many leaders in academia, private practices, and industry, including men who make a point to maintain a good balance in the workplace, professional societies, or scientific programs. There is an ongoing cultural evolution (albeit slow, especially in some societies), with more women having roles that were previously reserved for men and becoming comfortable with this leadership. Starting this year, I will be the first woman to become an associate editor for the Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery. I believe that future generations will not face the same professional difficulties that women face today.

5. What, if any, hurdles do you feel women in health care still face?

There are still some hurdles related to cultural assumptions. Not only in health care but also in other professional areas, women with career ambitions may be perceived as aggressive. This is interesting because some women still feel they must work more than their male counterparts to prove themselves and earn a similar amount of professional recognition. Additionally, there is still an assumption that women do not feel comfortable being in the professional “limelight” and that they are happier in supporting roles, as this allows them to have more flexibility around motherhood. The aforementioned issues may contribute to the gender pay gap that still very much exists. However, it is certainly becoming more commonplace to see women having leadership positions in professional societies, speaking from the podium, etc.

In this era of the #MeToo movement, we also recognize that women are more likely to experience sexual harassment in the workplace. A national survey of mostly female ophthalmologists and ophthalmology trainees showed that 59% had experienced sexual harassment during their careers, most commonly in training. Of the ophthalmologists who reported experiencing sexual harassment, 45% had been harassed by patients. These facts led to the creation of an interesting toolkit for responding to patient-initiated verbal sexual harassment, developed by professionals in the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Iowa as part of a training program for ophthalmology faculty and trainees.

6. What advice can you offer to young female ophthalmologists who are still in training or just beginning their careers?

Get to know yourself to understand what makes YOU happy professionally, whether it is research or clinical and/or surgical work. Then, surround yourself with mentors who will help you to achieve your career goals and people who will support you as you strive to accomplish them.

Personally, I believe we all possess different definitions of happiness; therefore, it is important to not allow ourselves and our goals to be influenced by others or to be dictated by what society considers acceptable. The perfect balance between professional life and personal life (if it even exists) is different for each person. The timeline for achievements varies too, and if your priorities need to change at least temporarily due to specific circumstances in certain seasons of life, it does not mean that your initial career goals must be abandoned. If having a family is part of your plan for happiness, choose a partner who supports your goals.

I have also found it valuable to remain as open as possible to opportunities that show up along the way. For a while, I was certain that I wanted to pursue a career in retina, and then I encountered an unexpected opportunity to work in research related to IOLs and other ocular implantable devices—I am still so happy that I adapted my life plans accordingly!

7. Can you propose a unique or creative idea that may help women in ophthalmic practices?

We cannot overemphasize the importance of networking with other women and sharing life experiences. This can, of course, be done in an informal manner, with family members, friends, and colleagues. However, there are also organizations designed to empower women, and it may be valuable to become a member and/or to participate in the activities and opportunities they provide. There are such organizations specifically created for women in ophthalmology (eg, Women in Ophthalmology) as well as ophthalmology meetings with all-female organizing committees and ample opportunities for women to present (eg, Envision Summit). Other organizations include women in different professions to help members promote themselves and/or their businesses through networking, branding, social media, and marketing (eg, P.O.W.E.R.).
