Course Description
Course will provide a step-by-step algorithm for management of dry eye disease. Based on its severity, management of dry eye may include lubrication and lifestyle changes, anti-inflammatory therapy, punctal occlusion, blood products including autologous serum drops, tear stimulants, contact lenses, and even various surgical procedures. Practical use of these options as well as new treatments will be discussed by the experts in the field.
Educational Objective
I want the learner to be able to have an algorithm for step-by-step management of dry eye disease based on its severity. In addition to environmental and life style changes as well as using lubricating eye drops, there are many other measures that can be used. These include anti-inflammatory medications, punctal occlusion, biologic products, tear stimulants, contact lenses, and even some surgical procedures. New treatment options are developing which can significantly help these patients.
