About Us

By Optometrists - For Optometrists!! At Derma Cautery, our mission is simple: give Optometrists and ophthalmic teams the training, tools, and support they need to manage common benign periocular skin lesions with confidence using chemical cautery.

WHY CHEMICAL CAUTERY?

For decades, clinicians have used chemical cautery as a precise, efficient, in-office technique for many benign lesions. Compared with cryotherapy, electrocautery, or excision, chemical cautery is straightforward to learn, requires minimal equipment, and fits seamlessly into a primary eye-care workflow.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

  • Hands-on education & CE: step-by-step protocols, live workshops, and implementation coaching.
  • Clinic-ready kits: everything you need to start offering the service the right way, right away.
  • Practical resources: informed-consent templates, after-care instructions, and billing/coding expertise.
  • Ongoing support: real-world pearls, troubleshooting, and community.

COMPLIANCE YOU CAN TRUST

We actively monitor and work with state optometry boards to align our training with your scope of practice. You’ll know exactly what is permitted in your jurisdiction—and how to stay compliant.

If you’re ready to add a high-value, patient-pleasing service to your practice, we’re here to help you get started.
