Understanding the Relationship Between Corneal Nerve Function and the Ocular Surface (CME Webcast)
Understanding the Relationship Between Corneal Nerve Function and the Ocular Surface (CME Webcast) is organized by MedEdicus LLC.
Course opens: 03/31/2023
Course expires: 03/31/2024
Description:
Corneal nerve dysfunction is the underlying cause of neurotrophic keratitis and has an etiologic role in the pathogenesis of dry eye disease and its symptoms. Knowledge of the mechanisms has implications for establishing a diagnosis in patients with ocular surface disease and using neuroregenerative therapy. This educational activity is based on the proceedings of a live CME/CE symposium that took place on Monday, May 2, 2022. The desired results of this activity are to increase understanding of the role of the corneal nerve in ocular surface health and disease as a foundation for enabling proper diagnosis and for selecting optimal treatment.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, participants will be better able to:
• Review the role of the corneal nerve in maintaining ocular surface homeostasis
• Identify signs and symptoms of ocular disease related to corneal nerve dysfunction
• Integrate evaluation of corneal sensitivity into assessment of ocular surface disease
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
