Presentation
Dry eye disease is an increasingly common phenomenon and has become one of the most frequent causes of patient visits to eye care practitioners. This presentation will offer a general overview of the latest guidance on dry eye disease from the DEWSII report (2017) and will set out how dry eye management differs between community and hospital and how the two groups can work together to support patients with a wide spectrum of dry eye disease. Several case studies highlighting different types of dry eye disease will be presented to highlight the differing approaches to investigation, diagnosis and management of dry eye.
The webinar will follow the format below:
- Overview of DEWS II latest evidence-based guidelines on diagnosis and assessment
- Discussion of the importance of good differential diagnosis
- Description of clinical assessment techniques for good diagnosis
- Brief overview of typical management strategies
- Case reviews to demonstrate real patient scenarios
