Dry eye in pharmacy

A member recently reported to Optometry Australia that they had noticed a local pharmacy advertising dry eye disease (DED) diagnosis and IPL treatment.

Optometry Australia strongly opposes this provision of device-based (DED) diagnosis and therapy, particularly as these services are being provided by pharmacy ‘technicians’.
