Increased understanding of the neurobiology of dry eye disease (DED) has led to a greater emphasis on its significant and potentially serious impact on patients’ vision and quality of life. Emerging treatments for DED go beyond mere symptom management to target its neurobiology. Join an expert panel consisting of an ophthalmologist and an optometrist to discuss the burden and causes of DED, the role of the lacrimal functional unit in its pathophysiology, and the rationale for targeted neuromodulation. The panel will also explore the symptoms of DED and the new pharmacologic agents that target the LFU along with clinical evidence supporting their use. The program will also include a video vignette of a patient with DED to highlight the challenges and realities of living with DED.

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a relatively rare disease that is challenging to diagnose and has limited treatment options. TED may be overlooked by clinicians due to the wide range of clinical manifestations, ranging from dry eye disease to diplopia, proptosis, eyelid retraction, and sight-threatening optic neuropathy. Although TED is often associated with thyroid disorders such as Graves’ disease, cases without typical clinical signs or hyperthyroidism are particularly difficult to identify. Additionally, TED is associated with a significant disease burden for patients due to its debilitating symptoms, disfiguring nature, and the inconvenience and adverse effects associated with available treatments. Tune in to this educational series where expert faculty provide multidisciplinary perspectives on best practices for the diagnosis and treatment of TED.
