Start Course
This exclusive CPD course brings together 4 key authors from TFOS to update you on the recent DEWS III report and what it means for Ocular Surface Disease care.
Professors James Wolffsohn, Lyndon Jones, Fiona Stapleton and Jennifer Craig share the latest in dry eye, including the definition, diagnosis, and treatment guidance before sharing how to apply it. Learn the streamlined diagnostic pathway (OSDI-6, NIBUT, osmolarity, staining), driver-based subtyping, and three targeted treatment algorithms. Delegates are provided with ready-to-use clinic pearls and updated protocols.
This recording is accredited for 1 non-interactive CPD point for Optometrists, Dispensing Opticians, Specialty CPD Contact Lens Opticians
Domains and Learning Outcomes
Communication
(s.2) Delegates will be able to explain to patients the ways in which dry eye management options should be used based on latest guidance and evidence.
Clinical Practice
((s.5) Delegates will be able to apply the DEWS III diagnostic pathway into their routine practice, including symptom screening (OSDI-6), non-invasive tear metrics, and ocular surface staining.
(s.5) Delegates will be able to select and justify management options using the three DEWS III algorithms (tear film, lids, ocular surface/adnexa)
(s.5) Delegates will be able to identify and mitigate iatrogenic dry eye risks such as topical medications, preservatives, contact lens wear, ocular surgery and adapt care plans accordingly.
