ABOUT CLOSE:

CLOSE was created to provide a path for ocular surface management into practice.  This year long program will provide the support for the practitioner interested in actively incorporating dry eye disease diagnostic and management strategies in their practice.

In Phase One, clinicians will be sent surveys regarding diagnostic and therapeutic options currently available in their practice. CLOSE will then provide a blueprint and create a diagnostic plan.

Clinicians will start to formulate treatment protocols based on what they are discovering.

Important notice: Continuing Education (CE) will not be offered for this initiative. This is intended for clinicians who want to change the trajectory of their practice by enhancing patient outcomes.

This course will cover presbyopia eye drops, including FDA-approved options and those in development. Topics include clinical trial processes, analyzing outcomes, and comparing study results, with an emphasis on navigating the evolving landscape of presbyopia treatments.

OCT and OCT Angiography are non-invasive imaging modality that enhance the evaluation and management of retinal disease. OCT renders high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina which in turn provides for optimal visualization of the retinal and choroidal anatomy. OCTA provides information about the retinal and choroidal blood flow. When used in tandem, OCT and OCTA acquisition allow for a comprehensive analysis of the retina and surrounding structures. This course will review interpretation and clinical application of OCT and OCTA in the primary eye care setting.
