Course Outcome
≥93% of participants will expand their clinical expertise in managing patients with persistent dry eye and ocular surface pain that do not improve with standard treatments.
Course Objectives
After completing this course, the participant will be able to:
- Understand why some patients with dry eye and ocular surface discomfort do not respond to artificial tears, lid hygiene, or first-line therapies.
- Identify inflammatory, neuropathic, and mixed mechanisms that contribute to ongoing ocular surface symptoms.
- Apply a structured, stepwise management approach that progresses logically from surface stabilization to inflammatory control and nerve-directed care.
- Select and sequence topical, systemic, procedural, and regenerative treatment options based on the patient’s dominant disease mechanism and response over time.
Who Should Enroll?
- Doctors of Optometry (ODs): Licensed optometrists seeking to improve confidence and clinical outcomes when caring for patients with persistent, difficult-to-treat dry eye and ocular surface pain.
- Ocular Surface and Dry Eye Focused Clinicians: Eye care providers interested in developing a more systematic, mechanism-based approach to patients whose symptoms persist despite standard treatment.
