Dry eye disease remains one of the most common challenges in modern eye care, especially among contact lens wearers. Building on the insights of the dry eye reports, this session explores how current scientific understanding can be translated into practical management within everyday contact lens practice. Using real-world case studies, Imke Jacobs demonstrates how to identify, assess, and manage patients with contact lens–related dryness, including when to adapt lens type, material, or wearing schedules.
The webinar provides a structured approach to dry eye therapy, highlighting evidence-based treatments, patient communication strategies, and long-term management for sustained comfort and lens success. Participants will leave with practical, directly applicable strategies to improve patient outcomes and strengthen their professional confidence in dry eye management.
