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.

Look at this thing, isn’t it neat? It would make my collection complete. Ocular surface disease affects the majority of our patients in varying ways and to different degrees. As technology has improved our ability to differentiate the underlying causes, it has also led to different treatments. The question becomes with the new technology, where does it fit into our practice and how can we utilize it to truly impact our patients’ treatment plan for the better.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) represent a novel and exciting  new treatment option for cancer. However, there are side effects that must be  discussed, including ocular side effects. This course discusses the mechanism of  action of ocular side effects of these drugs. We will review the common complaints,  proper diagnostic work up, common treatments, and typical follow up schedule. We  will also discuss what to report to the oncologist or hematologist so that eye care professionals can collaborate in patient care. Several case reports are presented.
