Activity Outline
This event will have 4 speakers. Marissa Cassimatis will present on the science and market insights behind PRECISION7™, the latest addition to Alcon's WATERINNOVATION™ contact lens portfolio, will be explored. Shaina Zheng will be presenting on Dry Eye and its link with mental health so clinicians can be equipped at dealing with its impact on the daily life of patients. Dr John Hogden will discuss assessment, change and clinical relevance as it pertains to DMEK and Corneal Topography. Dr Andrew Apel will go through the mechanisms of corneal scarring and emerging treatments in this area.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the technology behind Alcon's newest WATERINNOVATIONS™ contact lens and the impact of WATERINNOVATIONS™ contact lenses on lens hydration, comfort, and clinical performance. And recognise patient types and prescribing opportunities where a 1-week replacement contact lens may provide benefits compared with other reusable lens modalities.
- Outline what Dry Eye Disease is and the relationship between DED and mental health disorders and its impact on quality of life
- Understand how corneal topography and tomography can be used to assess corneal shape before and after DMEK, recognise clinically relevant postoperative changes, and identify when findings warrant further investigation or referral.
- Understand the mechanisms of corneal wound healing and scarring, recognise common clinical causes, and appreciate current and emerging approaches to reducing corneal fibrosis.
