Addressing meibomian gland dysfunction and blepharitis in general is the key to suppressing the inflammatory nature of dry eye disease (DED). However, artificial tears (AT) still play a pivotal role in the management of the condition. The amount of eye drops available can make selection overwhelming for a doctor (let alone a patient). This lecture will help optometrists choose appropriate artificial drops based on the key properties. We will also simplify when it makes sense to turn to biological drops in the management of DED.

This course will provide an update and thorough understanding of how diabetic retinopathy and edema are diagnosed, and how to properly manage these patients. We will also discuss diabetic retinopathy evaluation with structural tests (DFE's, OCT's and fundus photos). This lecture will explore functional testing (ERG) and newer OCT testing (OCT-A) that helps in the evaluation of diabetic patients. We will review novel treatment options for macular edema, such as intravitreal injections and steroid pellets.

Multifocal designs are improving but the fitting can still be a challenge. The fitting process will be simplified as we review the available designs. The essential tips and tricks needed to fit our patients successfully will be shared. Communication is the key to building trust with our patients. We will explore the importance of word choice, detailed explanations and demonstrate how effective communication can improve your fitting success, show the value of our fitting fees and time and reduce the frustration amongst our patients. Several cases will be used to explain these fitting and communication tools.
