Activity Description:
Dry eye disease (DED) is a significant public health issue that threatens patient economic productivity and quality of life. About 16 million Americans have a formal DED diagnosis, but the true incidence is likely much higher because many who are symptomatic may not seek medical care. This supplement addresses this issue and others related to managing DED and providing the best care possible for patients.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, the participant should be able to:
• Describe how DED symptoms can impact patient quality of life.
• Explain how inflammation is a key driver of DED pathogenesis and symptomatology.
• Describe how episodic flares are part of the inflammatory disease process.
• Formulate an individualized treatment plan for patients experiencing DED flares.
• Compare available data on agents in the pipeline and their potential significance for DED management.
